Nothing worse than a blog that isn’t updated eh…mmm…well no excuses, just been manic times at OC Group. The finish of the Barcelona World Race was excellent, and looking back, think we can not be unhappy about the final sporting and media results of this inaugural event. The next edition is going to be December 2010, and I think will be a real winner - for all kinds of ocean sailors. Meanwhile, we’ve got the same IMOCA fleet lined up, alongside some hot Class 40’s, for The Artemis Transat, 11 May Plymouth - going to be a big race I think. At the same time OC Events is in final preps for the iShares Cup 2008, first event kicks off in Lugano end of May, a day after The Transat prizegiving in Boston in fact! Bad planning…and on the Offshore Challenges Sailing Team side, our IMOCA 60 “BT’ skippered by Seb Josse is sailing now, and will be launched officially in London on 29 April, and Nick Moloney’s is getting training in the Extreme 40 “BT”. Ellen is very busy on all fronts, with BT, and with our other partners such as E.ON, and a big focus on the Eco-Island project - sustainability project in our home territory of the Isle of Wight. Everyone is working hard on all these projects…time for action!
Finally something great on STUFFDec21

If we could deal with the problem first, maybe climate change would be a secondary issue…

Just how often do you get given the single paper napkin that you need in a cafe or takeaway…how stupid is that we get given handfulls every time, I’ve had between 3 and 10 this week each time I’ve bought something. Its the same everywhere! What a waste!!!
