Ricky's Thoughts on India

I wonder what's waiting for us in Kochi, India. Such a seemingly strange place to take a sailboat race, I mean do they even have a yacht club or an Irish Bar? What will the locals think of our travelling Volvo circus, did they translate the voiceover in the Volvo Experience Dome to Urdu (I think that is the spoken language in India). If so I can't wait to hear Kenny, Spain was funny enough!



I love new places and personally can't wait to get there, however as we get nearer there is more and more discussion amongst the crew about what we can expect. Obviously the big one is food and some of the discussion may have been spurred on by today's lunch which was Chicken Tikka Marsala. A good time to find out if curry in India tastes like Indian curry when it's not in India, if you follow. I grew up in a place called Bradford, it is known as the curry capital of the England because of its large Indian population, I believe I can handle my curry...we'll see.
