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. . .

Tom: So, here we are at Saint Catherine's Dock and look, here's my yacht-The Mermaid.

I know she's a bit scruffy but I'm sure she'll get you round the world.
