One Week to Go!

Good Morning All!


So, it is the final week at work for me before I head back "down-under" to Australia to complete my Level 2 training.
I am all packed (nearly), and ready to go!


I have since update the 15/16 Race in Qingdao page, please take a look. I will also be posting updates about my Level 2 training while in Australia when time allows! It will be a busy time! Not only will I be doing sail training, we also will be completing our Sea Survival Course! Busy times indeed!


More updates to follow!


And as always, thanks for following the blog! Don't forget to check out Twitter & Facebook!


Thanks,
Jess xx

It's the FINAL Countdown!

[And now the song is in your head!]


Hi Guys,
It is literally the final countdown!
Fundraising Event No. 1 (Coffee Free for one month) is nearly at an end! Only 4 days to go and I will be able to enjoy the warm, yummy taste of a decent coffee!
Thank You for the donations!


In other news, this week, I will also be in Qingdao for the Clipper Fleets Arrival, allthough, at present, the fleet will be there before I get there!


AND then.... It will be 2 weeks before I head to Sydney, Australia to complete Level 2 Training and a Sea Survival Course!


It's all go!

Two weeks to go!

Two weeks until I head north and hopfully catch the Clipper fleet arriving into Qingdao! I can quite honestly say, that I am very excited! Two years ago, I was in Qingdao, getting ready to joing CV27 (Then named Team Garmin) to take part in Leg 6 to San Francisco. In two years time, I will be onboard one of this fine fleet arriving in Qingdao, and be just over halfway through the circumnavigation! How exciting is that!!


I have already got a page setup to post about my trip to Qingdao (Click Here) and you can check out some pictures, and my write up!

Updates 21st Feb

Updates, Updates, Updates!

Current Fundraising Activities

Event No. 1; Coffee Free Month [10th Feb - 10th Mar]
This is in progress, and is going very well - I am halfway through week two, coffee free! On Friday, I was gifted COFFEE from Indonesia! Its torture... to have it sat there, I can smell it, I can't wait to open it and drink some when I return from Qingdao on the 13th March!
Donatations however have been very few! But - we are still in the early stages! :)

Event No. 2; Teaching Resources Sale on TES (Click here, to view my "shop") [Ongoing]
Seems crazy to make this into a fundraiser, but it is something that I do every day - so I figured I would put it to good use! I am in the process of uploading my English Resources, and over time, I will add the Music Resources too. My resources are all £1 unless otherwise stated. I have also got some Mandarin resources - easy-peasy language stuff! [Prep yourselves for the Qingdao Stopover!]
