Away. Out of Touch. Incapacitated. With the internet, you are never that far away. This week, the Virgin takes you on a tour through managing your team from afar.

Unexpectedly, you may find yourself in a country like Switzerland on business and not only are you in a strange land where 4 Schweiz languages (Italian, German, French, & Romansch) are spoken, but your team is still depending on you to deliver the line-up. It is all about the line-up my friends. Get to the line-up and your remote days are all ok. But getting an internet connection is dicey and besides, mit lederhosen ist pullin’ ups de backins. See, my Swiss German is coming out just fine. Better watch what I say in public, though. Knowing my luck, anything I try to say will get translated into…"I admire the relations I would like to have with your goats!" … in so many words…of course. As a matter of course, this week involves memories.

It’s a bucket of tears that well up all around me still to this day. What has occurred in the last three weeks hurts me sailing abilities but its real. It’s a real result and it can’t be taken away. I hold it near and I hold it dear, lets hope it happens again ‘for the 86^th year! So ‘twas an even week and that means our obstacle is a patsy. And sure enough it was the shoals of the courageous coral rock that aimed to waylay us. But we made some decisive moves and we skirted our way about the danger enough. Why can’t we win two in a row? We will see next time if this comes to pass.
