Not allowed to land in France, not sure why but thats the rules, we're going accross with a professional company, with a safety boat.
The distance with tides is approx 64 miles but they have to tow you through the french shipping lane, so yo end up doing around 55 miles of rowing, the last group of lads that we know who did it took 14 hours, we'll try and beat that (not competetive at all!!! lol)
Youd probably find a few extra 'crew mwmbers' on the way back, too !
