Next Thursday I'm participating in a 4-day charity bike ride, inspired by my friend Chrissie who has uncurable cancer - to raise money, split equally between Macmillan Cancer Support and UNICEF UK Campaigns .

Focus your mind on how much you love sailing and how much fun you have being out on the water. Let that positive energy wash away your fear, and it will fuel your confidence. Be comforted knowing that even the best of us still doubt ourselves too at times. X
