The crew enjoyed the final party in the Pan American Club in Liverpool's Albert Dock on Saturday evening, with many of the past leggers there to join in with the round the worlders and leg 7 crew.  There, and in Jersey the week before, it has been really great to catch up with the team members who were on board for the early parts of the race and have already had a good few months back in "civilian" life!

 

Jersey Clipper left the Albert Dock mid afternoon on Monday bound for Jersey for a final weekend visit.  Most of the Jersey Clipper crew have dispersed back to their homes around the UK to start their return to normality but a number of keen crewmembers deciding to stay aboard for one more week to complete this "lap of honour". They spent Wednesday evening in Dartmouth and arrived in St. Helier on Thursday evening.

 

A steady stream of members of the public visited the boat on Saturday including a few people who are interested in taking part in the next Clipper Round The World Race which begins in September 2007.  Any potential crew members should take a look at the Clipper Ventures web site for more details.

 

Jersey Clipper slips her lines at 1400 today for the short hop to her home port of Gosport in Hampshire where she will be refitted in preparation for the next race.
