Nige....Thank you so very much.
Being able to meet some of the guys on the British team was great also. I know Michael Aronow enjoyed spending time with them as they spoke of his memories of Cowes, when he crewed for Don back in the day.
They are the nicest group...reminds me of the old days and the camraderie enjoyed by all the boat racers.
I tried to help Jan the night beofre the race.....I said, with your boat having four engines and all that steering geometry, be careful as you come to Orient Point as it is a sharp turn...perhaps it would be easier on the boat if you just went all the way around Block Island and return to the course on the south side of the island.
Dean said.....that's rather cheeky of you and laughed.
We have some momentum now, hopefully we can pull off another impossible feat here.....getting a boat ready for the RB11.
Charlie
