My good friend Jim was on the clipper Great Britain sailing from China– Seatle, 33 days at sea with no sight of land. That's him on the bow, fixing the Genoa. Painted on Saunders Waterford with Daniel Smith watercolours. #GreatBritain #roundtheworld #ClipperRace #watercolour

"As the fleet charged forward, it was if there were large puffs of smoke from small explosions breaking out across the water between the boats, as a lot of #whales crossed the path of the fleet. We had two within a boat length of the @GREATBritain boat." https://t.co/WIsLbUjfrH

“Of course for a seaman, next to being actually at sea, the greatest enjoyment comes from preparing the boat for a voyage.”

Fifty years ago today Sir Robin was preparing to spend his last night on land for 312 days - here's what he packed for the journey!

"Sailing-wise, we are still steadily ticking through the miles and shortly after midnight we decided to give the Yankee 1 a rest as the wind veered more to the South. There was a seamless hoist of the Code 1 and the Yankee was struck." @GREATBritain https://t.co/HJ4XuNooez

Today I thought my watch needed some music–two of them have been very seasick ... so I attached a speaker to my life jacket and was a walking boom box, I came out of the companionway blasting dancing queen, which did raise a little smile...@ClipperRace⁩ https://t.co/9XcxtBgLRJ

[Pip360 @pipsclip]

3rd place when just 24 hours before we had been in 10th was just amazing. I was so so proud of my watch and the whole crew, I think we were written off a little bit before this race had even started. But this proved that attitude speaks volumes.

Woweee, what a different leg this one is from the last! We have had some really pleasant downwind sailing so far, in fact it may have been close to champagne sailing (unfortunately without the champagne, I could murder a glass right now!) https://t.co/dWAV4hrmrd
