"Hopefully we can carry on as we set off this year and, you know, hopefully we can stick with the same team and move on," he said.
"Next year is obviously looking pretty exciting already, a bit of a break while we get the boats shipped over to Oman and then we can meet them over there at the end of January and start thinking about it again, getting fully stuck in. It's fantastic, I'm really happy."
