We had a great walk this morning; the first for 2014. The route chosen was from Grace Hill Moravian Church in Liberta to the entrance of Nelson's Dockyard and back. The first half of the route was pretty straight forward as it was mostly downhill from Liberta to Falmouth and English Harbour. The return leg though was more strenuous since it involved negotiating the gentle but deceiving gradient of Horsford Hill.
I couldn't resist the urge of going into Nelson's Dockard and so ended up being one of the stragglers. My real motive though for doing so was to have a look at the row boat which came in first in the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge on Jan-14. Seeing how small the boat is, I can only imagine the tremendous effort it took the two British sailors, Mike Burton and Tom Salt to overcome the Atlantic Ocean in this feat of endurance;well ahead of the other competitors. This reinforces for me Paul's exhortation in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ.
Following is a map of the walk produced from the GPS coordinates captured on my Blackberry.
