Tried on our Kit (foul weather gear) that Henri Lloyd is providing us back in October. However they changed the top from a Jacket to a Smock, so had to retry it in May. Not sure if I am really trying on smock or interviewing for a street corner ad.

What Does the End of a Training Week Look Like?
Everything is taken out of the boat, the inside is scrubbed down, everything outside is either scrubbed down , rinsed or sanitized. Then we put it back hopefully in the right place or it doesn’t fit and we play seek and find.
Happy scrubbing the deck!

What in the pub again?
Putting the Yankee to bed. That sail is a bit long and heavy. Help, someone get me out from under here!
So, What Do I Get To Do On This Fantastic Voyage? Everything!!!
My cooking partner Jeremy. The stove is level with the water, he is not.
