Sailing : TELEFÓNICA BLUE LEG THREE DAY 10 QFB: received 22.10.08 1549 GMT

A very happy bunch here on Telefónica Azul. We kept our heads cool today, and, as predicted, it wasn't over until close to the finish.

We had all the excitement in the last 50 miles, dodging fishing nets, zig-zagging around tugboats, hundreds of commercial ships, and then the wind, which was ranging from 20 knots to nearly zero. A real test for all the guys’ minds, as our nice advantage over the others nearly vanished, but we pulled it off and all the guys did a marvellous job. A better Christmas present we couldn't have wished for.

Cheers,

Bouwe Bekking
