Attended training with Stormforce (http://www.stormforcecoaching.co.uk/rya_shorebased.php)
and achieved RYA Sea Survival and ISAF Offshore Racing Crew certification. Basically setting off flares, jumping in and out of a liferaft and learning how to survive at sea... have to say, I hope I never have to use a liferaft in a real situation.. it was bad enough in a little swimming pool!!

OK so in 2007 I saw the start of the Sydney to Hobart for the first time and yes I think the sun went to my head a bit when I said... I want to do that! So before I could get over my temporary madness I had signed up with only one sailing lesson under my belt! Nearly 12 months and some great sailing experiences later, I am ready and heading off on the 1st of December for a mini adventure, so you can follow my progress on this blog before and after the madness of the race!
