Race 3 - Day 20: Under 1000 miles to go.....
With less than 1000 miles to go EMT Ambassador Dan Monk reflects on learning about meteorology
"I'm 37degrees south and its so cold here, the sun is up and i'm wearing a musto 3 layer system to keep warm!. I've been learning different ways and reasons for taking different routes across the Ocean, also about the different types of weather information we get on board. I really enjoy the meteorology side of sailing,"it kind of helps in this sport" lol and the more i learn the better. we still have 5m waves minimum and surfing down these waves is so much fun,getting at least 14-18knts a time,it's awesome!
Dan has sailed with the trust since 2003, coming back year after year despite a relapse eventually qualifying as a Yachtmaster and working for the trust last year as a skipper. Funding for Dan to take part in this historic race has come in the form of the Philip Green Memorial and JP Morgan Asset Management. Dan is hoping to raise 25p for every mile sailed - if you would like to sponsor him follow this link
