Perhaps I'm not ready to leave school yet, because I keep going back to them! Yesterday I had the privilege of Settrington Primary School listening to me give another short talk about my Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. With more great questions asked afterwards I think the Malton area has a lot of talented potential journalists. I hope everyone has a brilliant summer holiday.
Having earlier talked about the book 'Team Spirit' that I have just finished reading, for those who are interested I enclose a list of other sailing books that I have enjoyed all with a relevance to yacht racing around the world;
'Sailing Alone Around the World' by Joshua Slocum
The 'original' Round the World sailing adventure.
'Sea Change' by Ian Dickens
A great read by the great-great-Grandson of Charles Dickens who completed the 2000-01 race.
'A World of My Own' by Robin Knox-Johnston
The first ever non-stop solo round the world voyage. A must read for any participant in the Clipper Round the World Race by an icon of Global sailing (Oh! And he happens to be the Clipper Race founder and chairman).
'Race Against Time' by Ellen MacArthur
Truly inspiring from a very courageous woman.
I know there are many other sailing books to read, but if anyone else has got any suggestions for good reads, let me know.
