tam's travels

A while ago, the thought of a lifetime in banking inspired me to sign up for a round the world yacht race...today, with the looming prospect of only being able to shower once a week, never sleeping for more than 2 hours at a time, and no alcohol for weeks on end, the whole idea is looking considerably less appealing, but it's too late to change my mind now so I've overcome my natural dislike of web-blogs and posted a few piccies and details so that you can share the pain.....

Top picture; Me helming - you can tell it's in light wind because I'm smiling. Anything above 25 knots produces a look of absolute panic if I'm left in charge of the boat.

Bottom picture; Headsail change. Soaked to the skin, sitting on the sail that we've just dropped waiting for them to hoist the new sail. Sensible people never go forward of the mast...
