No blog posts on Greenland as this weekend's been busy with a Prom and the start of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race.
It's been sad how many of the big races like Volvo have ignored the UK recently - another sign maybe that sailing isn't as thriving as it used to be.
So it was good to see a major race starting not just in the UK but here in London. I was able to go down to Tower Bridge to see them leave on what turned out to be a lovely sunny day.
Good luck to all yachts and their crew and well done for getting to the starting line. Ahead will be a great adventure you'll never forget.

Thanks - I might do some more (including explaining what's on that sign) as have a stack of photos but am struggling without a laptop to do blogging on ipad and chromebook.
Will make sure find some DLD ones for you.
Thanks - did you manage to get onto one of the yachts?
The sign... well, that was the latest incarnation... the morning of departure it read 'Are you Susie's sister?' as a reference to our delivery trip up the Thames!

Christina: alas no, well at least not one of this fleet. I've recently spent 2 weeks on an older Clipper 60 in Greenland as posted previously
Go Susie!
Anon: so true :)
