Message From GARYJESSOP

The start from Singapore, with light winds the fleet had a hard task over the line, we got caught in a wind hole ,thus our position at the back of the fleet.However the winds picked up and we found ourselves doing sail change ..sail change.. sail change .. which was great , we did some great speeds of these evolutions..and I found myself on the bow being a bow man, at no2,hoisting,trimming and helmng all in the first 36 hours .. great to be back on the ocean.Now we have to havesome lady luck and the lady Qing will try and pick her way through the fleet.
Also we have just opened the hatch to get some air in the sleeping quaters,its been very hot , hotter than coming into bintan..so u can imagine how hard it is tosleep in those conditions.
Great to be back on the ocean away from the hustle of every day life.
