Horse's mouth. Called Colin (race director) he was on rooftop with binnos trying to spot the fleet.

Should have been posting results on internet IMHO!

Jersey came in only minutes behind, a very creditable 2nd place and well done!

Still waiting to see if Sam (NY) can take 3rd.

[tome]

Kindly remind us of your predicted winner of this leg, Tome.
BTW I never realised you were so well connected. I'm not sure CDM is even speaking to me.

Jeremy

As you know, I was rooting for NY. Sam's tactics looked pretty sound until past Finisterre when it's anyones guess what she was doing - looked a little indecisive thereafter IMHO.

Not sure CDM talking to me either after much berating regarding updating the web site. The paucity of information in the closing stages was a bit of a missed opportunity. They've had some problems with the polling systems which they are fixing at the current stopover, so hopefully it will improve. Not that well connected really, but had some email correspondence and thus Colins mobile which I called.

And remind me of your predicted winner?

 

[Jeremy_W]

Predicted winner for the first leg - Jersey. So I got that wrong by a fraction.

Never mind Jeremy - a miss is as good as a mile!
