Whilst the men enjoyed their time at sea, they were grateful to dock home yesterday evening.

Phil Carter, Captain of the April Rose, said: "So pleased to be back, right the way around the UK we've achieved everything we wanted to achieve, we've been to the Orkneys, had some real challenges, we've had some fantastic times, brilliant but so nice to be back."

The four men set off on 25 April and returned to Jersey on 29 May.
