With this series of storms, it has been really rough. Very few boats have gone out since Christmas and it does not look like we are going out before New Year's Day.

We are excited about it. We have 40 boats coming and maybe more, maybe 40 to 50.

I wasn't even going to do this until 15 minutes before the parade.

I flew two of them.

We were able to put some boats between us and the Italian in today's first race, which gave us a comfortable lead. We then pushed the Italian back at the start of the last race then followed the Swiss boat around the course.

When we came back from the Christmas break, there was a whole different chemistry with the guys, a whole different attitude. They continually came back and kept working hard. We've tried to get better every day, which has been our goal, and they've worked their tails off.
