Jamaica leading the way to home port

At 6pm today the JAMAICA team were in 3rd place, just one mile behind New York and Hull & Humber leading the way to our home port.

Although we are running slightly to the west of the 'rhum line' this puts us into an excellent position for the short run up-to JAMAICA. Fingers crossed for a podium finish.

As the boats continue to make their way north the shore crew have been undertaking a gruelling itinerary of pre-race training sessions. This has included, but is not limited to, early morning running and swimming, employing the services of a series of dieticians to ensure maximum crew strength and yoga lessons led by friends from 'Hull & Humber' and roman wrestling competitions, selected photographs included.

Meanwhile the editorial integrity of the JAMAICA clipper website is under question as Nick Jacobs prepares to handover to Jon G, oh dear! We have been training hard for this for several months!

Finally the team have been studying hard, paying off the 'Hull and Humber' crew with a series of brown envelopes to get additional weather routing information for the coming legs.
