Et voilà... Back in my bunk. Lee cloth made up and ready to close my eyes. This will be the only night in harbour before coming back the day before deep clean and departure.
Level 2 is all about life offshore, in shifts and with no easy way to the normal facilities of comforts we have onshore. For power nappers like me this should not be a problem but for others the variable 4h shift pattern will be a big adjustment.
We started off with a full day about seasurvival with training in the classroom and in the pool. As with everything on a boat (unless going solo) its all about team work and helping each other out - same goes for survival too. Therefore it's important that we are all equally aware of the hazards and mitigation measures we have available.

Why I am fundraising for The Rotary Foundation
2022 marks my personal 25 year anniversary of sailing education. Every day on the water is another day full of experiences and learnings. Sailing is fun, thrilling, and at the same time relaxing. It asks all sorts of capabilities: thinking outside of the box, being observant as well as ingenious, all while basing yourself on fundamentals and humility towards nature's forces.
Therefore, I use my training for the race once more to raise awareness and funds for the basic education and literacy programs of the Rotary Foundation, as I believe that education, regardless of the form it comes in, is so important.
This year marks Year 2 of my Clipper Around the World Race experience and will hopefully result in at least two amazing weeks of training in the UK. Level 2 is all about offshore sailing and life onboard while Level 3 will go much deeper into the Clipper technique with asymmetric spinnaker training and racing techniques.
