Day 1 - Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week Nic Douglass http://www.adventuresofasailorgirl.com
Adventures of a Sailor Girl is now in Cowes for Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week - here's her report from Day 1 of the iconic sailing event.

The Sailor Girl is Nic Douglass, a Sydney based sailor, sailing commentator and icon of the Sydney and Australian sailing scene. With the assistance of GAC Pindar she has been in Europe covering the Volvo Ocean Race stopover and other major events.

Day 1 of Cowes Week, and I somehow ended up on the water! A big thanks to one of our fellow adventurers for offering me the ride. Ended up sailing with the Oceanara team on one of the 25 Sunsail Beneteau First 40's in the fleet here at Cowes. This interview is with James 'Irish', who I met while following the Volvo, his skipper Miles and trimmer Sam!
