No job, no sailing experience and 40,000 nautical miles to navigate - how will Manxman Marc Hundleby survive the next 11-months?
The 47-year-old has trained to take part in the Clipper Round The Yacht World Race - which starts tomorrow at St Katherine Docks in London.
Leaving Australia's corporate world to join the 50-strong Team Da Nang-Viet Nam - he explains what drove him to it:
Marc will be taking part in 16 individual races with a fleet of 12 70-foot ocean racing yachts to raise money for the Isle of Man Live at Home Scheme.
