We have only waved across Bradwell but I want to hear the full story when you get back. I may even buy the beer!
Wishing you fair winds & good visibility!

Alan,
All the very best to you - you're going to have a great experience, and raise money for a worthwhile cause. What could be better?
Remember, we'll all be behind you - about 3500 miles behind, in fact.....
cheers

Some might regard sailing with me to Ostend as the greater challenge. Where do people sign up to sponsor you for that?

There is no dedicated site for tracking this. Alan's position and distance to finish will be posted here. This depends on Alan ringing his brother with his lat and long. Given the cost of sat phone calls and Alan's desire to escape from the world as we know it, this may not be very often 
He will have set sail today (in no wind to speak of).

Nicked from the Jester challenge forum, I do believe our very own Alan has the only boat called Pipedream, and it certainly looks like him, so he's on his way and best of luck to him, and the others
