Jimmy Sails World
 
Today the Fleet arrived, to a spectacular welcome, in the Marina at Keppel Bay, Singapore.
 
Today Qingdao Arrived in Nongsa Point Marina in Batam, Indonesia. This is also a special day for Qingdao as it is Chinese New year...Xin Nain Kuai Le (Happy new Year) you guys.
 
Today the fleet leave stealth mode and once again appear on the race viewer.
 
Due to extremely light winds and the increased risk of Piracy, Clipper have decided to end Race 7 and the positions of the yachts as they crossed into the Celebes Sea and into Stealth mode, will be taken as the final standings for Race 7. Qingdao therefore finished in 4th place. Well done guys.
The fleet is currently making their way to Batam, Indonesia, before formal arrival in the marina at Keppel Bay, Singapore.

 
Today at 03:13 GMT, Qingdao entered Stealth mode as they crossed into the Celebes Sea (stretch of water between the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia). The Race viewer will be frozen for approximately 4 days. This area is a severe risk to the fleet due to light winds, navigational hazards (as the most recent charts of the area date back to Captain Cook's time)...but most of all Piracy. Good luck and be safe to all crew.

    Its like Jim Kirk but without the star dates and I'm not the captain!

     Well here is where you can get to find out a little more about how I'm getting on in my quest for adventure.

    I aim to keep you posted on my training (both how I cope with learning to sail and how I am getting into shape for the race), How I am doing with regards to funding and how much money I have raised for good causes.

    I intend on this to be a journal of everything connected to this epic adventure, so at times it may be funny, sometimes full of grumbles and sometimes down right crazy! but I hope at all times it will reflect my experiences and feelings at the time.

    So watch this space!!!
