Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei
FITNESS - More swimming, more running, more listening to tapes. Listening to tapes? That's not fitness, you say! Well, it is really, after all, fitness is about mental preparation as much as getting in shape physically.
So, I've been listening to "How to Handle Conflict and Manage Anger". Not that I am one to get angry easily, but it is as well to learn something about what upsets us and why and how we can resolve disagreements.
Conflict can be positive too! This could be useful in a confined space at sea!
SPONSORS - My list of personal sponsors is growing. To those who have sponsored so far, thank you so much
for investing this interest in me. When it gets tough out there, and it will, I'll remember that you encouraged me in this way and that, hopefully, you will be following my progress.
UNDERWEAR - There I was this afternoon, sitting by the Mabohai pool in the hot sun, (yes, having finished my self-imposed number of lengths!) researching synthetic underwear from a well-known outdoor
clothing catalogue. Synthetic? Not cotton? I hear you say. Exactly, what a ghastly idea it is! More so here in tropical Brunei where it is invariably 28 degrees Centigrade and the aim is to keep as cool as possible. No,
we are told, we should keep cotton well away from the kitbag. So, if I want to try it this December in UK, I'll have to order it now as this will be my final chance to test it out in really cold weather sailing before
the race starts. I'll let you know how I get on. |
