We made it back to a great welcome in Liverpool, and finished overall in 4th place - which is truely a great achievment considering that we were in 9th overall back in Santa Cruz.

I'm not sure how I am going to re-adapt to the normal world. The leggers are your good friends, whilst the other round the worlders are more like your family, and it is tough to drag yourself away - to go from seeing someone all day everyday, to 'i'm not sure when, but hopefully soon', and especially when they are people that have looked after you in the tough times.

I'll miss everyone on board the Lady Qing. And in fact i'll miss the boat herself, as she has definately looked after us in the tough times - climbing up and down those 6m waves! So the end of an adventure, but hopefully plenty of time for more adventures in the future. xx
