The final race of the Heineken on Sunday was very exciting. 6 foot swells near Pelican Rock on the south coast and 20 knots of wind. The racing boat I was on, Azura, had to jibe the spinnaker 100 yards before the finish line, with Fortunata jibing at the same time, with the boats less than 5 feet apart. Talk about an adrenaline rush! Great competition and very friendly race crews all around.

The spectator boats were a joy to see and many race boats made a special effort to sail by them before and after the racing. Thanks for all the "flashing" from the spectator boats too <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
