Reflecting on Race 5
14 January 2008
We’ve got 150 miles to run and it’s time for a little reflection on the first race of Leg 4. The sailing on this leg has been some of the…

That was how colossal a task it seemed to me almost two weeks ago when I was…
Happy Birthday dad
12 January 2008

A whole new world

Belly laughs on board

Temperature’s rising and everyone who is not on watch is taking a break from the sweltering heat under the nifty fans that had been installed below deck. Despite the heat…
The milk of human kindness

As a tongue in cheek remark, Lih Shiun said a few days ago that the Uniquely Singapore crew’s needs are largely low down on the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, ie.…
Home sweet home
05 January 2008
Did my first mother watch for this leg with Diana yesterday and hence have the privilege of taking my first shower today! Fresh from the shower, my next watch is…
A crew sails on its stomach

We’re back on the water

What a difference leaving Australia is to our arrival two weeks ago. Back then, we were soaked, cold and wet with waves still crashing over the length of the deck…
A wild ride

Things can only get better
14 December 2007
