Greg and Jacques interview at 2 minutes. Pretty sure Jacques said that he and Greg were sharing one pair of tighty-whiteys...not sure though. If it's true, that's an awesome skipper/crew relationship. That must be the the secret of how to get really fast. Kind of like the anecdote of walking a mile in another man's shoes... :D

Yeah - the way that video clip got edited it sounds funny as hell - I was talking about the 'sailing conditions' being like home, not that Greg only has one pair of undies... Good times - we have been a little up & down, but are solid in the top 20 and looking to do better now that they are splitting the fleet into gold and silver. I'll try and post up reports - but internet is time for me is limited with where we are staying.

Greg and Jacques had a few bad days. They did MUCH better today with at least a 5th and a 6th finish, too late for a top spot, but will bring them in the top 30 likely.
