While I am still collecting the majority of my Cowes Week adventures to share with you all, here is a little bonus! Yes the return of my podcast which started about 5 years ago, and dwindled off as I was asked by my followers for more video content, and of course more live coverage. But do you know what... there is something special about being able to "listen in" to a conversation with someone. So I thought it was high time that we got back into doing what adventures covered right back at the beginning... And so, at the end of Cowes Week I managed to catch up with Lucy Hodges MBE, to chat about her sailing, about being blind, and about what she is also doing to give back to the sport that she loves. Lucy kicked off her own World Championships at the Blind Sailing World Championships just a few days ago. So have a listen and make sure that you cheer on Lucy, and all of the amazing sailors that are racing out of Kingston this week.
