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!
Great article Barry - not bad for a "novice sailor"!
ReplyDeleteGeez Barry - it doesn't mention anything about the various risks to ones body! I guess you'll have to learn to look after your feet and thumbs!
