Atlantic Challenge

CCC has sponsored Tom West who is taking part in a race across the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic Challenge is run by the Rona Sailing Project which gives young people the opportunity to learn skills such as responsibility, resourcefulness and team-work through the experience of being at sea. Setting off from Halifax on the 19th July the crew discovered excessive left over provisions from previous legs which they generously donated to the Salvation Army. Forming a human chain the crew picked up bags of pasta, tea and a variety of tins and transferred them from yacht to shore. Tom is 4th from the left just over the left shoulder of the lad in the front row.

Currently 1st in class and ahead of their main competitor we wish Tom & his other crew mates luck for the remainder of their journey.
