John was invited to join Michael & Tony soon after he had dislocated and fractured his shoulder and been prevented from sailing on Swift Wing from Gran Canaria to St Lucia in 2007. He accepted, but ever since has been apprehensive about coping with the 3 month absence from home. He persuaded himself that once the journey began these irrational fears would evaporate and the sleepless nights stop. However, after departure and despite 3 tremendous days sailing down the Irish coast, he realized that this expedition was not for him. This was despite being warmly encouraged by Michael and Tony and by Helen to continue. He left Blue Tarn on 4 October. He is very, very sorry to have left the remaining 2 men in the boat with a surfeit of food and a gap in the watch keeping roster. John Mactaggart
