The Race: Episode 10

Phil Day 73 – we were sailing through a huge hurricane when a massive wave hit us. Oh why did I try to sail through this storm? I was hoping to get back home in 80 days but that seems impossible now. I must make sure my crew is ok – I need them now more than ever…

The Race: Episode 9

Phil It's day 61 – and it's a miracle! I didn't hit any rocks and we're safe in the harbour at Papeete on the island of Tahiti. It’s just a quick stop to clean up the yacht and take on fresh water. I'm going to find one more souvenir to take home as part of my challenge – some type of musical instrument – hmmm. And how are my travelling companions? Well, they're not under the weather anymore – I mean, they aren't feeling ill – they've recovered from the food poisoning that I unfortunately gave them – but strangely, they still seem very pleased with me.

The Race: Episode 8

Phil It's day 50. We've made it to Papua New Guinea and the capital city of Port Moresby. People here seem to be wearing masks – I think there's some kind of festival going on. Anyway, this is where we're getting out yacht properly fixed. It needs to be good enough for the next part of our journey. We've decided to sail in a straight line across the Pacific Ocean and then, well, we're taking a short cut through the Panama Canal. It's a long, long way so we need plenty of supplies … but there's a problem…

The Race: Episode 7

Phil Hello again. It's day 45. Passepartout and I were sleeping like babies when we suddenly heard a loud creaking and cracking sound. What could it be? We're in the middle of the Indian Ocean so we can't have hit any rocks. Sophia is up on deck steering the yacht – I need to find out what's going on.

The Race: Episode 4

Phil Day 15 – we're in Sao Tome and trying to smuggle our new friend Sophia off the island and onto our boat. She wants to escape from her violent husband and return to her home in the UK. I'm always happy to help someone in distress and my reward for doing so is a bag of top quality cacao beans – something I have to collect as part of my challenge. But there's no time to hang around – I only have 65 days left to sail around the world, and I'm not sure if Passepartout wants an extra passenger…

The Race: Episode 3

Phil Day 7 – we're in the Cape Verde islands and, no, we didn't sink! We have made it to port. There was a small hole in the tanks that store our drinking water and someone is now fixing it. But I'm glad we stopped here– the islands here are like another world – green, lush, warm and sunny – not like the concrete jungle we left at home. Unfortunately, we can't stay here for long – we are in a race after all, around the world. There's just time to take a 'selfie' to send back to my friends (click) – oh and I must just log on and check my emails…

The Race: Episode 2

Phil Hello again. It's Phil here. You may know that I've been set a challenge to sail around the world in 80 days – it's an impossible challenge especially as I have never sailed a yacht before. But I said 'yes' – so here it goes...

The Race: Episode 1

Phil Hello, I'm Phil. I live in London. My apartment is close to the Houses of Parliament and I can hear the bells of Big Ben chiming every hour. I live on bus route number 88 which is handy because it takes me to my office in Oxford Circus. What do I do? Well, I'm an author – I write books – but don't worry if you haven't heard of me, my books never sell – ever. In fact I want a career change because I desperately need some money. When I pay all my bills, you see, I only have enough spare money to buy a few drinks at my local pub – The Horse and Groom. That reminds me – I've got to go there now to meet some friends. Excuse me, we'll speak again soon.
