| Hi Eddie,
Congratulations, nice sailing, I did not think that South option was going to work, but it did in the end. Well done for being so persistent.

| Thank you.
This was a very strange race.
Day 1 was fine.
Day 2 showed my position far from Sardine was wrong, but I kept going south because I did not want to give up early.
Day 3 was fun with Malta, and I got a first hint from weather routing that south could be good for me. But weather routing still saw me 5 hours behind the leaders. Weather routing suggested north of Crete for the head of the fleet. I was a little frustrated and needed building up by my team, which did a great job!
Day 4 started changing things. Weather routing saw me at equal ETA with the leaders going north of Crete. This kept changing toward my southern position with the sub-miniature-micro high building a slow but steady 3-4 kts clockwise rotation south of Crete.
Day 5 was catching up and passing by. I never thought this was possible. From 190 nm distance to the leader to a 40 nm lead. I was impressed myself what a difference small changes in weather could make. Honestly, I could not really believe this in the first calculations I did.
You see, weather routing is not all, tactics might play an equally important role, and a huge lot of luck is sometimes all you get. Do I deserve that? - I don't know.
You also see from our team result that a lot of different ways can lead to top positions, there are boats that kept south and boats that went through Messina straight both in the top 10.
I would like to dedicate this victory to WAZ, whom I really missed in this race. There must have been some nice chronicles in these changing conditions with lot's of great cinema-scope feelings.
Great thanks to all of you for this race, thanks to Herve for providing this platform and a huge "Thank You" to my team for their great positions and support.
Once our boat Gleumes arrives we will have beer without end, you are all invited to our party!
I wish fair winds to all boats still on the water! | |

| Oui bravo brainaid. Une course avec beaucoup d'iles et d'options et donc plus intéressante. Mais tu es toujours premier. Congratulations brainaid. A race with many islands and options and so more interesting. But you are still first. Les membres de la BDS sont impatients de gouter la Gleumes. BDS members are impatient to taste Gleumes beer. Wait for us. | |

| In my opinion Richard ... you should provide them with more gleumes during the Race ... this should help | |

| Bravo à brainaid et son équipe,
Très belle course et belle performance où étant donné les grandes variations de conditions météo au fil des jours de course, le stratège humain a devancé le robot routeur me semble-t-il.
Bravo également à Titigump, 5ème, fier étendard de la LEGF sur cette leg, et premier représentant de la flotte à tenir tête à la Team Yacht-Treff

| Un BRAVO tardif (cause vacances) à brainaid pour sa victoire et pour avoir en premier "senti" le passage au Sud de la Crète... Il est temps que j'installe des apendices sur ma vieille coque car elle n'avance pas en ce moment Amicalement | |
