Not a clip around the ear for a change...

I spent some time in Gosport with my friend Sheila who has signed up for one leg of the Clipper 09/10 round the world yacht race.  Visit http://www.clipperroundtheworld.com/ to see more about this amazing adventure. Sir Robin Knox Johnson is the founder and Chairman of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race and is an inspirational figurehead to those who undertake this challenge of a lifetime.

Shelia said she didn't know much about boats.  So as an experienced 'salt' (see my Hartlepool blog) I said I'd accompany her.  Lets 'split the mainbeam' I said with a jaunty nautical air.  I think it's 'splice' and 'mainbrace' actually she said.  Hmm...

Anyway here's my card to let you know how we are getting on.

Sheila is doing the leg between Austrailia and China so it will be a huge challenge.  But fear not Lindsey will be there with a steady hand on the tither.  I think its 'tiller' actually Sheila said.

Hmmm...

I thought rollocks to you then.
