Birthday Boys

I shared two things with Green Dragon skipper Ian Walker yesterday – a birthday and a slammed, business-as-usual schedule. I spent the day racing around Dublin meeting new clients, while Ian Walker spent it dodging the Doldrum squalls in the Pacific Ocean.

The Volvo Ocean Race fleet are currently due east of Papua New Guinea, heading for two ice gates south east of New Zealand, after which they’ll head for Cape Horn and on up to Rio, a 13,000-mile leg.

As with my last post, the Green Dragon is another gargantuan Irish #PRfail. If you’re reading this and wondering what the hell the Green Dragon is, my point is proven. I’ll write more about this soon. For now, fleeces await unpacking.

Happy Birthday Ian, and me.

This is his birthday blog post, and below is the interview with him from the official Volvo Ocean Race site.
