One year on......
Publié le 14 / 02 / 2010
I can't believe that a year has gone by so quickly.....
But when I look at what I've done since then I guess that it has to be that long: Round Britain and Ireland record on AVIVA with Dee Caffari, 2nd placed IMOCA 60 in the Rolex Fastnet Race on ARTEMIS, 10th in a difficult Transat Jacques Vabre with Sidney Gavignet, nominated ISAF World Sailor of The Year, won the YJA Pantaneaus Sailor of The Year award....
Right now I am preparing for the Transat AG2R with Romain on SAVEOL. We are training at Port La Foret, on and off the water as usual with the team.
More difficult still, today I set off on my Virtual Race - Port La Foret-Azores-Plymouth. It is the first time for me on an on-line game and it's not easy!!! There are a whole set of skills to learn in order to race well at this game and there are already more than 27 000 players! It's not too late to join in - you can click on the link from this site!!
I am very grateful to Orange France at the moment as my 3G modem will save me many miles and places as I can connect at all times to check my course and sail trim!!
Just as well, as life is pretty busy with some trips backwards and forwards from Paris, continuing on my quest for Vendee Globe 2012 sponsorship. Also this week I have sail testing on the water in the Figaros, a first aid course to brush up on vital survival skills.
Sorry for the lack of news recently.....
