A message to all JAMAICA crew, past, present and future

Skipper Simon Bradshaw sends a message from on board JAMAICA to all crew members past, present and those joining for leg 7 :

We have taken delivery of new JAMAICA Clipper crew polo shirts, they are new designs and colours, black with pink embroidery and pink with black embroidery. The two colours are slightly different in design, but basically have the Jamaica flag, JAMAICA and the Clipper 07-08 logo on them. We have enough for one of each for every crew member, at $25 each, incredibly good value as they are top quality items!

We have them all on board, so crew joining us in Jamaica can get theirs then. Any crew that are planning to visit at one of the remaining stopovers can collect from us, and any others can get them posted/delivered in some way.

We made an executive decision on this as it would have been impractical to try poll every crew member on choice of colour, design etc. We also felt that $50 (roughly 25 quid) for 2 unique, top quality polo shirts was an absolute steal!! In future all crew photos will feature one of these two shirts, the original Licensed to thrill shirts are now very faded and tatty looking (like several of us!), but make good drinking shirts!

The pink polo shirts are not being revealed until our arrival in Jamaica, they are quite eye catching to say the least!

Please can you also ask crew members to have plain black shorts to wear with these shirts, it does make a difference everybody dressing the same, it makes for good photos and PR and really shows the team spirit and camaraderie that JAMAICA Clipper is famous for, we all feel very strongly about this so please get the shorts!

Now, prompt payment for the shirts is obviously vital, two of our current crew have organised these shirts, they are Roger Perry (black polos from Hawaii) and Robert Morphee (pink polos from Santa Cruz). They each need to receive $25 or we don't handover the shirts!! This can be paid in cash and for those not seeing us they can send their money to Phil Thomas (who is also on board at the moment) who will then pass it on. We'll supply more details on how to do this shortly, including exchange rates to use etc. I hope this is OK with you, the shirts are definitely good value and will make fantastic souvenirs of this great adventure that we are all undertaking.

One Love!

Simon and the Crew.

Simon and the crew will be sending us further details of how to make payment for the shirts so please keep visiting your web site http://www.jamaicaclipper.com/ for more information.
