In an engaging talk at the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth on January 29, chairman, Ellen Winser, will share some of her adventures sailing 40,000 miles from St Mawes and back.

On October 10, 1991 Ellen, her husband Tom and friend Jeremy Lang set sail from St Mawes on board Ardevora of Roseland, returning to the same spot on July 25, 1995.

In between they had sailed some 40,000 miles, visited 30 countries and experienced joy, |pleasure, frustration, boredom, terror and sheer delight.

Ellen says: “This talk is the story of three |pretty ordinary people and our extraordinary experiences. My talk is for anyone who’s dreamed of sailing the globe and I hope it may inspire others to get out there and see the world.”

Tickets are £9.50 for lecture only and £19.50 to include two-course buffet. To book call 01326 214546.
