The days are counting down as the departure date gets ever nearer!
Opened an email from crew mate Baz suggesting that "Technical Boxers" are a must for this trip - best technical boxers that I can think of would be Ali, John Conteh, Sugar Ray Leonard or even Joe Calzaghe, ah, but who could forget the whiff of sweat and vaseline at ringside........now back to the pants!!!!
Breathable underwear.........whatever next, all to reduce the dreaded chafe that can cause so much damage and discomfort on an extended trip where moisture is never far away.
Boats currently heading towards Taiwan and then on to Qingdao in China where they should receive a fantastic reception from the local enthusiasts, this is the centre where all of the sailing events were staged during the Beijing Olympics.
