Saturday 1st March 2025 – Blessing of our new Gig Myghthernes an Morladron

What a day where we had the Penzance’s Mayor and RNLI Penlee arrive for the event. See post from BBC southwest news provided by Penzance Council

It was a lovely blessing by Reverend Rebecca Fugill that blessed our new gig with holy water from Ireland and of course Patch Harvey the coxswain from RNLI Penlee that also blessed it with a drop of Guinness as it was a gig bought from Ireland 🇮🇪 ☘️. Thanks to Ted from Penwith photography and Greg from Penzance Council that provided some beautiful photos of the event as shown below.

I am a recreational vet runner coming back from injury and turning to triathlons and other adventure sports such as gig rowing for fun, fitness, weight loss. I am also an amateur photographer trying to master my camera and GoPro to produce some great images in future. This blog will follow my fitness progress as well as blogging and taking photos and videos of interesting events on holiday or in the beautiful surroundings of Cornwall.
