We met with a very nice chap from the Suffolk Free Press (local paper) down by the river last night. He got loads of snaps of us in the boat and seemed very interested in the trip. We're meeting with a reporter later this week (or early next) for an interview and should be featured in the issue coming out on the 24th September.
We're also going on the lecture circuit! People have read the blog, talked to other people, who have talked to other people, and word has got back to us that the local primary school would like us to give a presentation about the trip. It turns out that the kids have been learning about the lifeboats recently (good coincidence) and are raising money for the RNLI themselves.
For the children (and the teachers) it should be an exciting morning with cool pictures and interesting stories about our adventures. For us it's more publicity. Good news all round really.
