Well what a week! Kit has arrived from SLAM... thanks to all of the team, in particular James for putting it together and supporting the expedition in so may ways - more to follow on the SLAM kit performance in the Arctic - but it is of great quality and design.

Main issue (and I won't dwell on it in case I come up against a wikileaks scenario): BUT the US London Embassy have created a load of hurdles to my trip - as of now I can't get a visa... but as the ice is still thick in Alaska, and this is just another challenge to make it all successful.

Thank you all for the huge fund raising success so far for the Ellen MacArthur Trust.. with gift aid included we are very close to half way of the target (perhaps we should think of increasing the target... please continue to support, donate and help this wonderful charity that REALLY makes a difference!

I went to the dentists today - the ladies running and managing the reception there were so enthusiastic about the trip... go on girls get the surgery to advertise the great fund raising cause!

So I have a little time out on Sunday - off to The Goodwood Festival of Speed.... talk about chalk and chease!

Cant wait to read about your exploits, are you going to do a daily travelogue? It will be a very strange feeling in this over crowded world of ours that you are following in the foot steps of so few people. (apart from natives!)
good luck.
