Hi Peter, I only took part in Leg 1 of the race and did not do the full circum navigation. Also I have a wife and I do not have any children so it made it easier for me to take time away from home – especially as my wife met me in Brazil for an extended holiday. Regarding the gear I took with me, they were tailored for my leg and not for a circum navigation, e.g. I took a thin sleeping bag and a thin fleece which would not have done in the Pacific. Regarding sponsorship, indeed Polaroid Eyewear provided a level of support, however I am a Polaroid Eyewear employee, so my approach to them was pretty straight forward. I did not seek any other sponsorship. The advantage of the sponsorship is that I managed to get sunglasses for the crew on the boat I was on and everybody really enjoyed them, especially going through the Doldrums. All the best in your trip, cheers, Eric
