Hi folks!
Sorry for the radio silence over the summer - it was quite a busy holiday for me in the long run... lots of catching up with friends and family...

I still have a page to be updated and published once completed in due course - likely to be this weekend... keep an eye!

Thanks!

Giving tours of Clipper 70

Morning all!

I had a great day giving tours and talks onboard the Clipper 70 - UNICEF while she was alongside in St Katherine's Dock, London.

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!
BRING IT ON!

Thanks to CLIPPER ROUND THE WORLD for letting me share my experience and pass on my knowledge!

If you can't tie a KNOT, tie a KNOT

Hi Folks,
Good to see you!


Welcome to some new readers! - Great to see you here too!


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!
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.


Enough of Shanghai weather!


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.
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!


I will update again when the page is uploaded!


Keep smiling folks, I'm back in blighty IN A WEEK!
