After a great build up it is nearly time to begin the Tour and I am looking forward to a great adventure! It has been eight years since my first Tour, we finished a creditable fourth. Anthony Haines (AKA Ski) was the boat manager then as he is now and he has put in a lot of hard work getting Oman Sail Renaissance prepared. However, all of the team will need to dig deep if we are to achieve the result we are capable of. Bring it on!
