_Unfortunately the Qingdao crew had to retire from race 5 and will finish in 9th place. This is to ensure they arrive in Tauranga, New Zealand with enough time to prepare for the next race to Gold Coast. They are due in on 27th Nov.
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.
