This month, the story of a determined Irish sailor – a young man who started life on a farm in County Meath, not a maritime location and has become the winner of the top French yacht race – the Figaro. Tom Dolan describes how he succeeded after years of disappointment and how psychology helped his determination to do so. Also – the dangers of being cut off by the tides, the public lack of understanding of tides. The RNLI has completed a survey showing lack of ‘tide literacy’; why are there more stranded dolphins and – what do you think of seaweed.
