We are shocked and extremely saddened to receive a phone call from UKMTO tonight to inform us that all four crew on the captured yacht Quest have been shot dead.

Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and friends.

We are within 200 miles of Salalah now, heading down the Oman coast and our ETA is 24^th Feb.

There are 30 yachts from three different rallies heading along the same route and we are all safe and well and looking forward to arriving in Port.
