Date and Time :
12th April 2018
-
6:30pm
West Anstey Village Hall at Yeo Mill
Sailing around the World - A Talk in aid of St Michael's Tower Fund, East Anstey
Doors open at 6.30pm for 7.00pm
At the age of 8, Peter Forbes was taught to sail by his mother in a felucca at the confluence of the Blue and the White Nile in Khartoum - this engendered a lifelong love for sailing and for the sea. This early happy experience led to the nurturing of a dream over the intervening years to sail around the world. A meeting with Italian beer baron, Rudi Peroni, led to the acquisition of Carango, his beautiful 54ft yacht and to their training in its management. By 2016 Peter and Vicky, his wife, were ready to set sail and to fulfill this dream by embarking upon their epic journey. Paying specific attention to the Panama Canal, the Galapagos and Cape Town, the talk will cover the interesting experiences and exciting challenges that they faced during this long voyage.
Peter was educated at Sandhurst and Manchester University Business School and joined the Army for 8 years before pursuing a career in the aviation industry. He retired in 2013 to prepare himself, his crews and his yacht to sail around the World.
TICKETS £10 ON THE DOOR (includes wine and nibbles). All proceeds are in aid of St Michael’s Church, East Anstey.
