Hi D'Arcy,

Fantastic to see the young guys from the USA leading the pack there, and be the first boat around... Navigated by the wily old Aussie Will Oxley, of course...

Pretty impressive what the guys on ALVIMEDICA have done in this race, given their comparative lack of experience... I'm really gonna be pulling for them to be the first boat to arrive in Newport in May...

Two weeks from Auckland to Cape Horn, I can't even begin to fathom that... I'll bet Max Fletcher can't either, it took him something like 50 days? (grin)
