Bad news all around

Unfortunately there's been bad news all around.

I was trying to break another world record, in this case sailing across the Atlantic on Virgin Money, when we got hit by a massive wave and had to stop. The boats going in for repairs, and the team will be trying again.

But the worst news recently is of my old friend Stevie Fossett. He once was lost, but now has been found. Unfortunately, only his mortal remains were left. My mate, my co-partner, and one of my best friends is gone. I miss you, Stevie.

Things will get better.

Warm regards,
Sir Dick

Breaking another record

Hello, everyone. It's Sir Dick here, writing from on board my racing yacht in the middle of the cold Atlantic Ocean.

If you haven't heard the news, I'm sailing with Ben Ainslie and most of Britain's America's Cup team from New York to Britain to break another world record. Seas are rough, but that means we've got great wind to get us there fast. My kids are on board and are handling it well.

Sky News has a story up on me and the team here.

Look forward to writing about it more on the other side.

Warm regards,
Sir Dick
