65 Rather Like London Buses……… nothing for AGES and then more than you know what to do with!

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Its been quite a while since I last wrote a Blog. In fact, having managed 5 or 6 a month for a year I only published one last month. It’s NOT that nothing has been happening……….. actually LOTS and LOTS has been going on AND, post Crew Allocation in May Clipper has been getting very VERY REAL. June was somewhat domestically pre-occupied …………….

…… and more about that (maybe) in a subsequent blog.  But the last few days and weeks have been extremely hectic and therefore, rather like waiting for a London bus, you wait for what seems like AGES and then along come more than you know what to do with so …….

 

 

………… so standby for blogs about ….

The Return of My Phone (and the missing Level 3 pictures) from South Africa,

Sailing with the Cirdan Trust,

The Crew Allocation Day Bits I Missed,

More Yacht Branding,

Commodore Champagne,

Team Building Weekend,

Announcements about the Complete Route and New Stopovers + dates,

Level 4 training,

More Musto Kit,

Prep Week,

How the Race is scored,

The (Addictive) Race Viewer, and

Race Start

……………. not necessarily in that order!

There are now 44 days until race start and 91 days until I report onboard the UNICEF yacht in Punta del Este, Uruguay.

Now a bell ringing, bee keeping businessman (not always in that order) Keith has limited yachting experience but considerable sea-going experience having served afloat for the majority of his 34 years service in the Royal Navy. This included serving in every class of warship from minesweeper to aircraft carrier, commanding 4 different ships (a minesweeper, two destroyers and an amphibious command ship) and commanding all UK maritime forces in the Middle East for a 2 year period. Concurrently he was the Deputy Coalition Commander of a multi-national force of over 115 warships drawn from 22 different countries. For him the challenge and excitement of being part of the Clipper Round The World Race team has proved irresistible, in particular taking on the four big west-east ocean crossings and the chance to sail across oceans and seas he has yet to experience.
