Win, win, win. Our first win in the series. This has been
so exciting.
The last section of the race we were trimming, trimming,
trimming. We all kept the focus with no one talking to the trimmer or the helm.
The last 36 hours Ben was up pretty well continuously, keeping a watch on the
weather patterns and Visit Finland and Gold Coast.
The last night I went on to mother watch so went off to
bed at 9pm; awoke at 5am to make breakfast. I popped my head up to see several
oil rigs and ships in sight. The waves were about 3 meters and we surfing down
them with the spinnaker up, Finland and Gold Coast behind us. I could hardly
contain my excitement.

We dropped the spinnaker and rounded up into the wind to
cross the finish line in first place.

| Happy crew in full party mode... |

Team Singapore are ecstatically happy. It's going to brilliant at prize-giving this evening.
