Barry Moore's Clipper Round The World Challenge

In July 2011 I left Southampton on the Gold Coast Australia entry in the 11-12 Clipper Round the World Yacht Race (a 40,000 n/mile race around the globe). I made it to Rio then on to Cape Town across the Southern Ocean to WA, but a shoulder injury forced me out of the race. Challenging, tiring, frightening and rewarding - this blog has allowed me to share the journey. Humorous, determined, mad and adventurous – just some of the words to describe my crewmates. What an adventure!

Fund-Raising Plans

RIP Thomas Henry Moore
(15/1/1923 – 18/11/2010)

I lost my Dad Tom Moore to Melanoma in November 2010. I can’t help feeling this race provides an opportunity for me to raise money to assist people dealing with Melanoma.

I’m working with my friend and former colleague Jan Dennis from Marketing & More to establish how this can be achieved. She has some great ideas that will hopefully enable me to fulfill this aim.

When I have more details available, I’ll be posting them here first.
