Better treatment today, hope for tomorrow.

Tired...but must train!

Off for a jog and some freestyle circuits by the beach!

Exciting! School Presentations Go Ahead

So I have been given permission to give a series of assemblies at Balshaws High School in Leyland, Preston, to the kids about my campaign and the theme ..."it's not what you can't do, but what you can"

1%!!!!!

Woohoo! I have now raised £400, so 1% complete. We have set a big target, but by focusing on the small ones, we can make it happen. Now to £1k!

Sponsorship Stalled!

It appears the sponsorship has stalled! Need to get back into promoting the campaign to start it up again! Please donate!

Coxswain Course!

I've been accepted onto the Clipper Coxswain Course. Means I'll be trained to a level to be able to take over command of the boat of something happens to the skipper. Scary, but game on!

Almost at 1%!!!

Total fundraising so far is £375, just need £25 more to get us to target #1!! Thanks to all the people who have donated so far.

Albert Docks

Went to the Albert docks today. It was refreshing to see a kitch (type of sail boat) and name all the various components. Good to see that I'm learning. This time last year I had no idea!

The Weather!

Boats rely on the wind (obviously) so I need to learn about the weather systems. Keep looking at this

And comparing to what's out the window....generally my predictions are a bit off, but learning!
