		<title>40 Days and 40 Nights at Sea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

THANK YOU!
When it was first suggested in May of this year that I could be part of a racing crew sailing a 68ft yacht from the UK to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, via France, I had no idea of the scale of the adventure that I was about to embark on or the amount [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye to the Northern Hemisphere!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We've done it! Uniquely Singapore crossed the Equator 2 days ago and we are well and truely on our way in the trade winds now. To mark our crossing the crew were summoned to 'Neptune's Court' to justify our 'reasons for existence' to the Skipper and to Neptune. ]]></description>

		<title>It is always darkest just before dawn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[well, it has been a trialling couple of days on Uniquely Singapore. The winds have been light and shifty, often not where the weather forecasts have predicted they will be, which made navigating for our Skipper difficult indeed. Our boat speed has been languishing in the low 6-7 kts whilst the crew rotated all of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Canary Islands &#8211; Still</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am writing this during my &#8216;grave yard&#8217; shift for the night. I am on deck from 2am to 7am tonight, but as the winds are so light behind the Canary Islands the crew are scattered all over the boat doing their own things as much as sailing the boat.

		<title>Question: how do you wash your hair when you are on a swaying boat with no running fresh water?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This means that for one day you are excused from your deck jobs and instead are responsible for feeding the crew and keeping the boat clean.]]></description>

		<title>Spinnaker Nightmares</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unqiuely Singapore seems to be labouring under a spinnaker curse over the last two days as we have had constant major repairs to make to our light weight kite. On Wednesday evening we had been sailing along with the kite up happily for a few hours when Watch B accidentally wrapped it around the inner [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sunny Days &#8211; And Spinnaker Wraps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day 2 has been sunny, hot and just starting to get slightly humid on board Uniquely Singapore as we make our way out of the Bay of Biscay, heading past Bilbao. The focus of our crew &#8216;happy hour&#8217; (when we are all on deck together for one hour over lunch) was to construct a rudimentary [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Night on Uniquely Singapore.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, we are off again, after a very light wind start that saw the fleet drift out of La Rochelle at 10am local time this morning. Our sailing instructions were minimal and simply read: Start, La Rochelle, Finish, Rio de Janerio.
We spent the morning sitting on the leeward rail, changing from windseeker to the light [...]]]></description>

After a few tears and a fairly emotional send off from Hull the team on Uniquely Singapore were happy to get out to sea and get stuck into the first race that saw the fleet racing down the English Channel to La Rochelle in the Bay of Biscay. The weather gods were certainly smiling on [...]]]></description>
