Pete returned to the UK last month after completing his adventurous voyage from Cornwall to Australia aboard the Spirit of Mystery, the new 37ft Mounts Bay lugger, following in the wake of seven fearless Cornishmen who sailed the original and sought out a new life in the Australian gold rush in the 19th century.

Pete spoke about his achievements at the official opening which marks the completion of the extensions at Mayflower Marina.

David Clement, Chairman, of Sailport plc said
"We are delighted that Pete opened our new facilities."

Pete Goss MBE said:
"All those at Mayflower Marina have been incredibly supportive of my adventures. It is a great marina to be linked with and I am honoured to have been asked to open the new facilities. I look forward to an interesting day and wish them luck in taking the business forward."
