J.P. Morgan 'Round the Island Boat Race 2013


 The 'Round the Island boat race is one that takes place once a year, "a one-day yacht race around the Isle of Wight, an island situated off the south coast of England. The race regularly attracts over 1,700 boats and around 16,000 sailors, making it one of the largest yacht races in the world and the fourth largest participation sporting event in the UK after the London Marathon and the Great North and South Runs."

The only reason why I know the slightest thing about the race is because my mum's boyfriend happens to compete in it. And every so often, you know, they are quite successful.
Their boat is the GBR707 Madelaine.
Sadly this year their position was 14th, but in 2012 they came 3rd, 2011- 4th, 2010 - 2nd and won in 2007!

So if you saw a certain boat continually popping up in these photos, it's them! For the whole day we raced around the island stopping off at different points to grab some shots of them, so apologetic to others in the race I didn't catch many of the others...

Maybe if you do go have a look out for them.
Leave your supporting boat in the comments and i'll have a look out too.

So, now for the part where you guys think I'm crazy. I'm fine, promise! But, this disney-themed letter was too cute not to share with you.
By the way, if you are in the UK have you been enjoying the weather recently?
Cor, it's SUMMERY :o Crazy. Now onto the letter.. Enjoy!


Dear Jazz,
 I am writing this letter to inform you that I escaped Atlantis with Ariel. I also killed Darth Vader with a spoon. I am looking for unicorns at the moment and I just want to know if you have any idea where I can find some?

I am off to Pixie Hollow to find some of my friends and then I will go to iceland to wrestle great white sharks.
The ice king is after me, so you can't tell anyone about this letter or where I am going otherwise I will get killed.

Winnie the Pooh is stuck in a tree at Never-Neverland but Peter Pan is with Jack Sparrow looking for the Crystal Skull as Indiana Jones got shot by Captain Hook. So your duty is to rescue Winnie the Pooh before Tinkerbell steals the jewels from Snow White's step mother.

Beware of the magic mirror though, if you stare too long you could get sucked in, and nobody knows where to, I would say 'Ask Gollum,' but you know, nobody knows where he's been taken to, or if he's even alive!
The Doctor has lost his tardis, meet him outside the Dentist ( 42, Wallaby Way, Sydney) and help him find his tardis so you can go to Never-Neverland to help Winnie the Pooh.

Alice is stuck in Wonderland (again), also, so if you see any white rabbits in waistcoats with pocket watches, keep an eye out.

Good Luck!

Yours Sincerely,
The Bear in the Big Blue House
(P.S. Drink me)
