Harry Dwyer's Return to London - 1700 miles in a tiny speedboat

[CJL]

Some of you may have been following the exploits of Harry Dwyer and his tiny Avon Searider who has circumnavigated the UK over the last 5 years. On Saturday he concluded the final leg, returning into London and passing under Tower Bridge.

A small flotilla of a diverse range of boats escorted him on his final leg and I thought I'd share some pictures of the day.

You can binge watch the videos of his journey on YouTube and follow the various trials and tribulations along the way here - 1700 miles in a tiny speedboat.

We saw it at the NEC show last year so it must have done a lot more miles on its trailer, great achievement though.
Has more electronics on board than my 40 footer!

Brilliant series. His drone shots show the UK in amazing detail.

It started well, but once they added radar I gave up. Why, o why did he need a radar?

I don't think he did - but when Raymarine said, "'Harry, do want a radar?" - I guess human nature took over!!
