We fixed 80 percent of our problems from yesterday, however, we were still down on power from our left motor.

But second here is good.

I feel awesome.

The whole team was superb.

Everybody did a wonderful job to prepare a perfect boat.

Faleh did a great job on the wheel and I just did my job.

We’ve had a perfect weekend, it was actually really comfortable.

We are so used to this race course now. We were really in control today and I was able to relax and stay focused.
