Race 2 - Day 16: Latest from EMT Ambassdor Dan Monk
EMT Ambassador Dan Monk is taking part in the Clipper 07/08 race. Dan has sailed with the trust since 2003, coming back year after year despite a relapse eventually qualifying as a Yachtmaster and working for the trust last year as a skipper. Funding for Dan to take part in this historic race has come in the form of the Philip Green Memorial and JP Morgan Asset Management. Dan sent back his latest thoughts from onboard Jamaica
"We have two girls on board Jamaica and they decided to have a ladys night! all the crew were invited. with one stipulation, we had to dress like girls! all the crew took part even the skipper and there was some funny sights but it was all good fun.It was nice to have something different going on, as we are all starting to get a bit tired. I'm just west of Cape Verde islands,west of Africa, its very hot and when your trying to push the boat Harder,Faster,Quicker! it really takes all your energy.im really getting excited the closer i get to the equator,and thinking its not long till the southern ocean. To think just over 2 years ago, i was to weak to walk, dress myself or even eat and now im crossing the Atlantic, sailing round the world. im very happy and grateful to be here and taking part in the race, its been an awsome experience already! still got 31,600 miles to go!"
