when i first started planning it, ithought there were about 180 islands. 0bviously, maths is not my strong point, because it turns out there are 263! this is longships, off lands end. hi, ken, how are you doing? yeah, absolutely beautiful, dan. it was so stunning out there. we got the tide calculations bang on, and now it s just pushing me home, it s so good to have done that. this isjust one man, in a very small boat. you feel really lonely out there. you talk to birds, you talk to anything. small things become really exciting. and i ll be really honest, i probably cried more on that boat, in my adventures, than i have in any other part of my life. and that s because it s personal. so this is my dad. i sadly lost him when i was only 2a, to cancer. he was one of six siblings. sadly, five of them died of cancer. so ken s raising cash and awareness. nobody s ever done this challenge before, because it is just so difficult. most of the time, you ve got your feet tucked under a strap
