2. Now an easy one-who is helming this boat? And for an extra mark, name the crew member (IF YOU CAN!!).
3.Name this island.
4. Yes, it's the aluminium rib "Awesome" and the Micklewright family, but name that harbour in the background.
5. Name this headland.

OK Final Part 4
1. I want the name of this ex-ribster (hiss-boo) and the EXACT island he is photographed off of.
2. A very picturesque French port. The Captinierre in the background is a good clue.
3. Alan Priddy, on his first Atlantic crossing, nearly bumped into this newly constructed causeway. Which two islands does it connect?
4. What is about to happen, very quickly?
5. Who is this a guardian of our shores?
