Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei

SPONSORS - Thanks again to the latest group of sponsors who have signed up for 'Days at Sea'. It's great to have you 'on board' as it were. I hope you have all found your names on Legs 1-2, Legs 3-4 or Legs 5-7 by now. I am hoping that all the days will have sponsors by the time the race starts in September, so if you have friends or relatives who you think shouldn't miss out on this exciting adventure (and the opportunity to receive a postcard about that day, of course!), please feel free to encourage them to contact me. Arm-twisting is definitely allowed!

CREW TRAINING - While I am out here in sunny Brunei, the rest of the crew have been doing all kinds of wonderful team-building activities of which I am incredibly jealous. The details of these are 'top secret' - Skipper's orders! By the way, have you had a look at the Isle of Man  yet?

ELLAN VANNIN - In the meantime, I've been learning a little about the Isle of Man itself. Did you know that Norman Wisdom is a resident as are the Bee Gees? For charity, the latter recorded a wonderful rendition of Ellan Vannin (Dear Isle of Man), a song singing the island's praises. It's quite beautiful and very rousing. What other yachts in the race have a ready-made song to which to rally?
