Schools presentation
A little but nervous, but think the presentation is there. If I can inspire 1 kid to chase their dreams, it will all be worth it. What a platform to be able to do this. @clipperrace @deafnessuk

Contact Lens Trial
Everything on the boat will be compromised. So I wear daily disposable contacts. On the boat, due to the watch systems, these are not the best option. So today I'm starting a contact lens trial for another type of lens....exciting!

Accommodation
Ah back in the Lord Lester B&B. The lights work, but the cold tap in the sink doesn't. £30/night = the sacrifice for the @ClipperRace

Struggled yesterday
Really struggled yesterday hearing my mates. Crowded environments and loud voices meant I really had to lip read a lot and most of the time just guess! #cantgetdown
Crew Briefing Done!
New Zealand is Out, Mexico is in, start no sooner than 18th August. #clipper70 looks amazing.

New Corporate Sponsor
I'd lie to welcome Bramley, Pate and partners to my team. A very kind donation. They are expert architects in the Preston area, my grandfather used to be a partner until his retirement.

Past Races
Greg Norris completed the 98/99 race who is my day skip instructor. Reading through his logs and looking at the old photos, makes me wonder what my reflection on my race will be in 14 years time!
Clippers
The first clippers were american square rigged ships who were recognised for their speed in the 1800s!
Day skip course
Tough but almost over! Greg is doing a good job teaching us, also an ex clipper person himself!

Deafness Fact
Deafness is a disability where you can't tell they are affected by just looking at the person. Sometimes they have to suffer in silence, without the confidence to say that there is a problem. Please donate to the charity!

Norovirus...
Been feeling rubbish for a few days. Apparently it's a norovirus. Wonder what will happen if you get sick on the boat?
