BIG THANK YOU

Richard & the team would like to do a final roll call of ‘Thank yous’ to all of the people who pulled together to get the Mallorca

Richard Krugel – one cool dude

360 project completed, raise lots of dosh for Allen Graham Charity and also set a new World Record.  I have heard this week that Richard has been nominated for an award and I will be posting information on how you can vote very soon – so watch out!

Lots of people here in Mallorca (and other places) helped enormously by donating not only their money, but also their time and contacts … so here goes:

BIG THANK YOU ….

Nic Kluwe – who helped Richard all the way round, mixing up the daily routine, keeping Richard sustained, in good spirits and safe. Hooking his charge out of the drink on more than one occasion when the going was too rough.

Big thank you to No.2 Crew Michael for being on board in such rough conditions.

Svante and Steve from ETY for all of the logistical help and, of course, the Champagne at the finishing post.

Atlantis the customised support Llaut

Alberto Camina – for providing Atlantis the trusty little support vessel for the trip. (Not sure if Nic has returned it yet – or if he’s tried to buy it from you – I know he became rather attached).

Ports de Islas Baleares – particularly Sr David Gomez Picard for helping with the Moorings on our way around the island.

Likewise Juan Marc Club Nautico Cala Gamba and Agata Club Nautico S’Estanyol

Micky Davies Avance Cars Portals Nous for the land support vehicle.

Darren Applelec Yacht for those rather snazzy T shirts. There is still time to buy one (Please get yourself over to AGC Shop

Las Salinas Lighthouse – a big milestone

before you miss out on this collectors’ item).

Simon Relph The Islander Magazine – for publicizing and support.

Nicholas Stael von Holstein for providing the Medical Kit which came in handy on a few occasions when those Jellyfish came out to play.

Pure Super Yacht refit – for paying Skipper Nic’s wages.

Pinmar for help and support.

Nick at Sunbird Yachts for helping sort the berth out when the team arrived back in Portals together with the Captain of Puerto Portals Port.

That is more like it

Eric Woolger and Helen O Pitt on S/Y Beaugeste for pulling strings, arranging the wrap party at Wellies and generously supporting and donating.

Lachlan Stewart of Clearwater Productions for the great filming of Mallorca 360

Mark & Nikki Adamson – Yacht Charter Mezzo Magic Soller for helping Richard & the crew out at a particularly fraught time on the way round, and your generous offer of home comforts food etc.

Helen for lending Richard your apartment in Genova

Skipper Nic and Head Cook & Bottle Washer Michael

Geoffrey Wellies Portals for generously assisting with the party on Sunday.

Lorenzo of Yachtiepedia for filming those final moments.

Finally of course Richard’s lovely wife and parents for all their support.

Sincere apologies if I have missed anyone here. All the help was so appreciated by both Richard and Allen Graham Charity.

RIchard is now back in South Africa with his family after a week in very chilly Sweden – dreaming of jellyfish and thinking about his next project!

Down in one!
