Paperwork

Since returning my Crew Contract, paying my deposit and becoming an official member of the Clipper Race 17-18, I have been bombarded with a mountain of paperwork to fill out before I can take part in my Level 1 training next March -

• Crew biography
• Medical report and assessment, with GP approval
• Insurance application (who knew this would be so expensive!!)
• Onshore contact form
• Passport photos
• Copy of passport

I also need to think ahead about which vaccines I'll need (Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Diphtheria, Polio and Yellow Fever) and which visas I'll need for which countries (Australia, China, USA). My to-do list just keeps on growing!

Time to delve in - see you on the other side...
