Massive!

1 June 2014
Radio show number 8, one of my lucky numbers! I managed to catch Jason Waterhouse straight from Austria at the GC32′s at 2am this morning – too awesome! With his team, skippered by Sebastian Cole, they had two bullets just before I spoke to him. Great to hear that all is going well for this dedicated cat sailor. I also chatted with Howie Hamlin on his 5o5 North Americans win, and Stacey…

Fun in the autumn sun!

25 May 2014
The seventh show, lucky number 7! Although my personal lucky number is 8, or 18! This week I went and interviewed a few strangers, straight off the street! None of them were sailors, as it turned out, but I did ask them what they thought about the sport. I received some pretty interesting, and funny responses – listen in on the radio show to hear them! Great to catch up with Finn Mrugalla…

Giving back...

18 May 2014
I love my sailing… one of the reasons is because there are so many amazing people involved with our sport who love to give back. Great to catch up with Andrea Francolini (his image of the 2013 Rolex Sydney Hobart start above) on all of his adventures on and off the water, including rebuilding schools in Pakistan. We also touched based with Ashley Stoddart live from the European Training…

Living the dream... below the line

12 May 2014
Hey there adventurers! Live Below the Line, a very worthy cause, is done! The challenge is living on $2 worth of food each day, which is not an awful lot, but aims to replicate a week in the lives of those who are less fortunate than us. I cannot describe how absolutely amazing it is to finally eat a full meal; although after the past seven days it appears that my appetite has shrunk and I…

A flashback to catch up with Simon Marks on his kite surfing adventure he is planning, an interview with Francois Herbert on Whistler Sailing Club’s “Ski to Sail” event (awesome!), and we get to hear from Alex South how the Extreme 40’s are going on her return from China! Amazing! My adventures continue also, recap my day coaching the UNSW Team…

Marathons!

4 May 2014
What a weekend! I do like to push myself to the limit, and this time I may have almost… almost… gone too far! I travelled to Canberra after work on Friday to take part in day one of the uni fleet racing regatta (freeeeezing!), only to leave late that night so that I could take part in the Peter Loft Marathon at BYRA on the Sunday! The Peter Loft Marathon is in memorium of Peter Loft…
