Yesterday I went back to school! Not The Mount School but Langton Primary School near Malton. It brought back some great memories having spent seven years there before going on to The Mount. My brother Scott has also enjoyed seven years there and he moves up to Malton School in September.
I went along to give a short talk to the whole school about my Race Round the World on a Clipper yacht over the next year and I showed everyone how they can follow me on my website. Afterwards I was asked lots of really interesting questions ranging from 'What types of food will we eat on the boat?' 'Where are you going to clean your clothes?' and 'What will we do if we meet Pirates?' (I said I had better check the race manual for that one!)
The hot weather we have been having over the last two weeks will help me prepare for two months time when I cross the Equator on route to Brazil, it will be the first time I have been to the Southern Hemisphere, so anyone who has not done this before is known as a 'Pollywog', I gather there will be an initiation ceremony for me conducted by other members of my crew and respect shown to King Neptune! I shall tell you more about this towards the end September when no doubt I will find out a lot more about it!
