Story
In August 2019 the Clipper Round the World Race fleet set sail and proudly battled their way though the oceans. Who would have thought that somethings as small as a virus would bring to a grinding halt what the mighty South Pacific could not.
Stranded in the Philippines the boats and their crews had to wait for 2 years before picking back up where the left.
Fingers crossed, in June 2022 I'll be flying out to Bermuda to join my Ha Long Bay family for the final leg of the race. Meanwhile, if you're here you know that we are raising money on behalf of UNICEF.
And if not for the children, then for whom:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
Kahlil Gibran
