The jour­ney so far:
Mon­day 7th July the “Be Dis­arm­ing” lit­tle peace boat slipped out of Pen­zance Har­bor gates, the start of its voy­age, moored in New­lyn for the night. Tues­day head­ed for Fal­mouth, arriv­ing late after an event­ful first days sail­ing includ­ing storm sun rain and calm.
Ply­mouth Fri­day for the SW region­al Cli­mate Camp meet­ing.
Sun­day arrived in Brix­ham and stayed there to catch the tides right for Exmouth, arriv­ing Mon­day,
leav­ing Wednes­day morn­ing for Wey­mouth catch­ing some good winds tak­ing the 20ft boat to 8 knots.
Arrived in Southamp­ton Sun­day after an easy trip through the Nee­dles and with the tide man­aged 10 knots.
As they sailed towards Selsey Bill a RIB with 2 MOD Police came along and one board­ed the Lit­tle Peace Boat.
Very pleas­ant con­ver­sa­tion and enquiries, last­ly ask­ing if there was any inten­tion of doing any­thing on “Navy Days”
They were giv­en a Give Peace a Chance stick­er!
Wed morn­ing (23rd), arrived in Brighton mari­na just before 1am
Now look­ing around for sup­port and inter­est in Brighton before leav­ing for Hast­ings in the morn­ing tomor­row

Peter says:
“Almost every war that involves the Major Pow­ers is about oil and the glob­al pow­er it rep­re­sents.
He is using his epic voy­age to high­light the UK Government’s deci­sion to deploy new nuclear weapons.
In 1967 the UK signed a treaty oblig­a­tion to get rid of these weapons of mass destruc­tion.
In 1996 the World Court ruled that they were sub­ject to inter­na­tion­al law which says that any weapon which incin­er­ates and irra­di­ates peo­ple indis­crim­i­nate­ly could nev­er be used law­ful­ly.”

Peter argues that bil­lions of pounds are being squan­dered on use­less, ille­gal, and dan­ger­ous nuclear weapons. If we con­cen­trat­ed on mea­sures to com­bat cli­mate change we could effec­tive­ly reduce our Car­bon Foot­print.
