Offshore sailor. RYA Cruising Instructor. Clipper Race Alumni. Water lover!
Often found sailing around the south coast of the UK, with my partner and family.
Level one Clipper Race training was quite different to what I expected, and I think all of my crewmates would agree! For some it was tougher, for some it was easier, but for all of us it was super fun. I have previously blogged about my top tips on what to take for L1, but in this post I am going to describe in more detail what to expect from the week.
This is another one of my favourite quotes and one that I truly believe in. This sign actually sits on top of the door frame in my downstairs loo (!) – I hope it inspires all that see it like it inspires me. I am a firm believer that anything is possible and that if you have a dream you should go and chase it.

The only person holding you back is you. Now go and turn those dreams in to a reality!
The River Medway Navigation from Yalding to Allington offers a relaxing cruise through the beautiful Kentish countryside. There are several marinas along the river, and a few pubs which you can moor outside for free. There are also lots well cared for free 48hr mooring points along the navigation. When sticking to the speed limit (5 knots) it should take you approx 4 -5 hours to amble along if the locks are in your favour.
