Best regards

A workmate of number one Daughter did the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge (Rowing) some years ago.........fantastic achievement with a crew of 4 rowing across the Atlantic. He still does presentations about his trip to Schools around Bolton and he's still raising big bucks for the various Kids Organisations that he supports. Top, top bloke in my view.
We were able to track his boats progress and how the other boats were doing every day so maybe the sohc Members will be able to do the same with your boat........give us some details of how we might follow your exploits and I'm sure you'll get some extra dosh from us 'armchair warriors'....I'll certainly chip in.
Lastly.......I wish the best of luck to you - and ALL the participants.

It looks challenging. We went on her boat when it docked in Derry.
It'll be a fantastic experience. 👍

Oh, and thanks again for your help with the 550. She runs like a good un now.
We never did conclude that electronic ignition exercise. Perhaps when I get back…..
Take care.

Qingdao currently 4 th or 10th I do not understand the results ??

Looking at the crew roster it looks like there are 65 people on board but of course a boat that size couldn’t accommodate that many I’d imagine so it looks like they rotate the crew with some of the crew only doing 1 leg and then going home, whereas Phil seems to have signed on for 3 legs and misses the next leg before joining again for his last leg, leg 8. A few of the crew have signed on for the full race.

They came fourth in the last leg and lie 10th overall in the total race.

That's right. IIRC each boat has 12 crew on each leg.

Next race is Vietnam to Zhuhai in China.
We have a crew of around 17 working 4 or 8 hour shifts. Eg approximately 8 persons on deck, the rest sleeping or doing other chores below deck.

Just had a slap up meal and lots of beer. First time a meal has cost me over a million?
Lots of small Hondas here….but nothing over 90cc.
