Without prejudice, this is the most fun I have ever had on a Volvo 70. I, I mean we, are having a baby in 5 weeks' time and I am much more nervous about the next 12 hours than becoming a father again.
Crossing the Atlantic is always pretty special, but to be Irish, on an Irish boat, arriving into Ireland with the Volvo Ocean Race may be a once in a lifetime thing.
The guys have been phenomenal. We always feel we really have to work harder for every mile gained in this race and this leg has been no exception. To be in this position is through pushing harder, keeping the gear up longer, and brutal graft.
You can be sure that we will continue pushing to the bitter end, whatever it may bring. It will make the first sip of black taste all the sweeter.
