It is very true when I tell people that I only ever go to London when I fly into or out of the country. I have spent so little time there that it still absolutely scares me.

Tuesday rush hour was probably not the best time of day for me to be making my next journey into our great capital, as it was HEAVING.

I consider myself to be a seasoned traveller but getting to Knightsbridge on the underground was a challenge and actually quite scary. People are oblivious to anyone else around them and there is a fair amount of pushing and shoving going on. Considering I was teetering around in my stilettos I did a decent of job of getting to my location without too much drama.

The stiletto, dress wearing, travelling to London occasion was for the Royal Thames Yacht Club Prize giving evening, which The Project had been invited to as winner of our class at Cowes Week this year. As my illustrious leader and skipper is away in Australia it was my turn to take on the role of accepting our trophy and prize.

It was a really nice evening, fabulous food, great wine and I met some really lovely people. It was really good to be a part of this evening and to be in a room amongst some very influential sailors, namely Sir Keith Mills.

I am still not convinced it is a good idea to give a room full of sailors free wine, but it was a very nice evening!! Well done again to all the crew of The Project for all being a part of the team winning this trophy.
