<div>
Hi Everyone. Jess here!</div>
<div>
Sorry that there is been very little update on my page. Life has very much gotten in the way of my blogging escapades! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year! Welcome to 2018. My resolution? To complete the 17/18 Race! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you may remember I stepped off the boat when we got to Uruguay because my darling Mum passed away after a nasty battle with Cancer. I decided to stay home as long as I could to support my family and friends. Now, it's time to head back. </div>
<div>
<br />I will endeavour to keep the blog / Facebook pages updated as much as possible.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks for following!</div>

It's been a while since I have managed to get online and get an update to you all.<br />
<br />
Leg 1 was AWESOME.<br />
<br />
I will be updating the blog today about my race.<br />
<br />
As you may have also seen, sadly, I have had to step off the boat and return to the UK due to a family bereavement. I hope to return to the boat for Leg 4 or even 5. However, my family situation currently determines my return date.<br />
<br />
I will keep followers up to date on the boats progress and link you in as required!<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for all of your support<br />

<h2>
Good Morning from a Sunny UK!</h2>
<div>
Some much needed updates are being completed this week before I set sail around the world!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Team Building Weekend - Qingdao, Shandong, China. </b></div>
<div>
Firstly, <a href="https://jessvstheworld1718.blogspot.co.uk/p/team-building-qingdao-june-2017.html" target="_blank">here</a> is the page which gives an overview of the team building weekend in Qingdao. I couldn't attend the one in the UK so made a dash for Qingdao from Shanghai. It was a brilliant weekend, and I was so pleased to be able to meet some of the Qingdao Ambassadors! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Level 4 Training - Gosport, Hampshire, UK.</b></div>
<div>
Secondly. <a href="https://jessvstheworld1718.blogspot.co.uk/p/level-four-july-2017.html" target="_blank">here</a> is the page which gives a review of the Level 4.2 training which took place at the beginning of July. It was an incredible week - thanks team! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Fundraising</b><br />
I have recently set up a second fundraising page for UNICEF. This is the race charity, but NOT my primary charity for funds. However, if you wish to donate to Unicef via my page, please click <a href="https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jessrtw1718" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
For JST the donations have been trickling in, and I must say thank you to one particular person. He made a large donation, and went on to say that he was also a crew member for the 97/98 edition of the race. Amazing! Thank You! Jeremy! </div>

<span style="color: blue;">Hello Everyone!</span></h2>
<h3>
It has been an incredibly busy time here in Shanghai as I approach the final preparations to leave and return to the UK for my Level 4 training and RTW Campaign.</h3>
<div>
We have some updates on the way... I joined a Team Building event in Qingdao 17-18 June 2017, as I couldn't attend the UK one... also, there will be additions to Kit Reviews, AND knowing your knots! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lots to look forward too! </div>

Hi Everyone! <br />
I know there are people that keep returning to the blog in the hope that there is an update on the page with my completion of the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race 2016... the update is underway, and will be completed soon! Don't worry, it will be uploaded on my return to the UK later this week. <br /><br />I must say THANK YOU for all of your support during the last month with my sailing expeditions! I return to the UK this week to visit family and have a well earned rest. <br />
<br />
Thanks for your support! <br />

<br />
I had a great day giving tours and talks onboard the Clipper 70 - UNICEF while she was alongside in St Katherine's Dock, London.<br />
<br />
I met many future crew, I met plenty of current crew, and also fellow team mates. It was so great to be able to share my experiences of the race and share my excitement for the next race!<br />

Good to see you!<br />
<br /><br />
Welcome to some new readers! - Great to see you here too!<br />
<br /><br />
I write this post from a very hot Shanghai today! There a typhoon making its way in from the North Pacific, due to hit Taiwan tomorrow... and subsequently Shanghai in the following days. Currently a weather warning for Heat Wave... Don't get me wrong. I LOVE SUMMER, but HOT plus HUMID = equivelent of Doldrums on dry land! <br />
I have been practice cloud watching from my 11th floor apartment, and weather watching online to see if what I see, is what is going to happen... and so far, so good.<br />
<br /><br />
Enough of Shanghai weather!<br />
<br /><br />
This post is to let you lovely lot know that in the coming couple of days (as I progress in building the page) I will bring you a new page... ALL ABOUT KNOTS! Very important, as sailors that we know the knots we need for the right job. <br />
It is known than folks get stressed about the knots, but... with practice... they happen, and when you can get that bowline right first time, while being soaked on the bow while changing a sail - its a great feeling! Check and Chuck, and you're away!<br />
<br /><br />
I will update again when the page is uploaded!<br />
<br /><br />
Keep smiling folks, I'm back in blighty IN A WEEK!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13355550225066928869noreply@blogger.com0
