LITTLE MURKA IS BACK
Little Murka the kite boat has arrived back at the workshop for an extensive restoration.
Dom Mee was attempting the first ever kite boat sail across the North Atlantic from St John's, Canada to Exmouth, Devon in August and September 2005. Unfortunately 2005 was the worst hurricane season on record and Dom endured hurricanes Irene, Katrina, Maria, Ophelia and finally Rita. Dom had to be rescued, and unfortunately Little Murka broke away from the towing line.
In August 2006, she was washed up on Malin Head, County Donegal in Ireland after spending 11 months drifting at sea. The story continues....
'Little Murka' back in the workshop for a spot of work.....
