I’m circumnavigating the world

What I’m doing
In 2023-24, I will spend 11 months at sea in a crew of around 20 at any one time, on a 70ft yacht, as part of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race.
Leading up to, during, and after the race, I will share my journey and lessons learnt, including:
the importance of living for today and going beyond your comfort zone
the value of learning new things and achievement - individually and as a team
the critical need to protect our oceans, and
the remarkable stories of our people and planet.
