10th January and we all converge in London for another crew briefing. This time is different to the other briefings though. This time:
- We get the first of our official clothing, a red jacket with logos and RACE CREW on the back
- We have our official publicity photos taken
- We are addressed by Sir Robin for the first time.
We also got to find out more about the details of the race route. So much of it is still to be confirmed as contract negotiations continue around the world. Most importantly we found out that race start is 30th August, from a south coast port.
This time though, Leg 1 is a good old drag race from the UK to Rio with no stops in between.
After the official stuff, it was of course, time for a drink! Roll on 25th April for crew allocation day, but before that L3 training in March - can't wait.
