The above image was the incredible view I had when looking down onto the Sorcerer II from high up on the mast. Somewhat unrivaled views of the proceedings around me I think you’ll agree!

Its been all go since my last post. Coordinating Hannah’s blog posts, her website and various other tasks to get the word out take up a large chunk of time, actually its pretty fun doing it but also knowing I’m good at it too helps! The great news is I’ve just received word Hannah’s doing well out in the Atlantic ‘somewhere’ off the edge of Ireland. As she puts it “2 days down, 20 to go”. The conditions have been fairly fast and challenging for the first two days and she’s had no time to stop and send messages back save a phone call to the shore team to keep them up to speed. More good news is we’re now leading the pack on the media voting side of things, keep those votes coming!!

Don’t forget to pay a visit to the web page belonging to George, the RNLI bear, who is joining Hannah on her voyage across the Atlantic.

I am responsible for updating Hannah’s blogs when she sends back reports from the boat, both to her own website: http://blog.hannahwhiteracing.com and the official race website: http://www.jamorph.com/blogstar/ (there’s a prize for the sailor with the most votes too, just click on the stars below each of Hannah’s posts to register the vote). Now that the race has started it’s also possible to track her progress via gps http://www.ostar2009.co.uk/tracker.php (just click the map for coords.). There’s an interactive map I found only just last night at http://www.oceanracetrack.com/raceplayer/raceplayer.aspx?event=32
click on the ‘Pen Duick’ tab on the right and then PureSolo will appear, click on that tab to highlight Hannah’s boat! as far as I can tell she’s doing rather well. I’ll be putting up her images and videos if she gets time to do much of that as she’s going along, and I will also be sending back to her brief messages from friends to wish her well. So if you have any messages of encouragement to send to her either leave a comment on her blog(s) or email me (use the contact form on the website) and I’ll get it to her.
