Race 12 - Day 10
Crew Diary - NEW YORK, USA TO DERRY-LONDONDERRY, NORTHERN IRELAND
01 July

Hello from the mid-Atlantic ocean

I hope that you are enjoying a good summer- I can’t believe that Wimbledon has already started.

The crew on Derry~Londonderry~Doire remain in good form - highly focused and racing to their utmost. The challenge seems greater because the crews are much more competitive after so many months sailing and are all the more determined as we make the last ocean crossing back to the UK.

With 24 people on board the living space is challenging. But everything is possible. Put a group of people together who have never met before with differing abilities, and give them a goal to win, and you have a team. Add a few local Derry people and you have an awesome team! It may be easier to achieve this on a sailing boat with no other distractions or responsibilities, but it is still amazing to be part of it!

I am on Mother duty tomorrow. My first time without the guidance of an experienced bread maker, so here’s hoping that the boat stays level!!

Can’t wait for Derry to see family and friends. Must go – duty calls!
