Today Qingdao left Tauranga, North Island of New Zealand at 01:30 GMT (14:30 local time). This is the second half of Leg 4. They have 1,370 mile Journey to The Gold Coast, Eastern Australia.
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.
