The number is faint, but I think its 72819. Certainly not as long a voyage as some, but surely one of the slowest?! 4 years to come a few miles over the Irish Sea! That’s slower than the Steam Packet ferry! I thought you’d like to know that I found one of your ducks on the north-west coast of the Isle of Man this week (Thurs 13th May, 2010).

The problem with the actual race was no current and an unecpected unforcast wind against the race. We had an extra boost of current from poolafuca damn but alas only a few ducks started the race. We decided that we should give a few ducks back to the people who turned up to watch the race as we were really disappointed. As for travelling ducks, the one found furthest away was in Poland 2 years after the race, One was found in Sydney Australia, but we think he had help getting there. Thats our story,apologies for getting to the blog late but i have just truley accepted technology. Regards Ciaran@childrenslifeline.ie Hi folks, I am one of the original organisers from the day.

Over 3 years since the race began and a long old journey round the coast.
