Around the world in 90 days… with Twitter
In an orgy of nepotism and fraternal pride I managed to persuade my colleagues to knock up a blog to cover the progress of my youngest brother Jonny Malbon as he sails single-handed, non-stop and without assistance around the world in the ‘Everest of the Seas’ the ultimate ocean race, The Vendee Globe. The race starts at lunchtime on Sunday. Jonny will set out at the helm of the 60 foot Artemis – a brand new, super-powerful 60 foot racing yacht – along with 29 other sailors/boats (7 in total from the UK) to cover the 28,000 miles from Les Sables D’Olonne in Brittany.
