With just 27 days to go before the start of the Vendée Globe race, the excitement is really building. Dee and Aviva departed Gosport yesterday, with the remaining team due to head out to France later this month in advance of the start on 9 November. Whilst life in the office is still relatively quiet, I thought I would drop you a line to let you know how you can best keep up to date with Dee’s race news, should you wish to.
The Aviva Ocean Racing website – www.avivaoceanracing.com - will host a wealth of information and be home to Dee’s diary, podcasts, vodcasts, news releases and daily race updates. Please click on the link below to sign up for automatic updates: www.avivaoceanracing.com/index.asp?pageid=19

This fantastic digital booklet provides great insight into the race and the inspirational characters taking part.

We recently launched the ‘Dee Caffari Education Pack’ - a teacher’s resource that incorporates National Curriculum activities in literacy, numeracy, geography, science, history, art and I.C.T into information about Dee’s record attempt. The pack is available for all teachers and parents to download from: www.avivaoceanracing.com/index.asp?pageid=104. If you are interested in finding out more about the Education Pack please email annemarie@deecaffari.com
We hope you enjoy following Dee's story throughout the race and want to thank you for your continued support. Don’t forget that you can also send messages to Dee through the website and I know she would love to hear from you! Click here to send a message.
