I’m pleased to report that my recovery from illness continues and I am starting to feel more like my old self again. That said I still can’t do any training which is leading to a bit of boredom at home! I have therefore been sorting through some admin and decided to bring my photo albums up to date seeing as looking at pictures of me sailing is the closest I can get to it right now. In the mix are a couple of professional pictures taken last year at a photo shoot organised by our team sponsor Skandia. The photos are now being exhibited in the ‘Blown Away Exhibition’ and were taken by Robert Wilson, a top photographer who has tried to get a different perspective on sailing. Unfortunately he hasn’t airbrushed any of my wrinkles out so I’m don’t quite look like a top model! More pictures from the exhibition can be viewed at www.skandia.co.uk. The rest of the pictures are from my sailing and training this year.
