Ericsson 4 may have won the leg from Boston to Galway but, despite the rock star treatment that the Ericsson crew received on stage, one could have beeen forgiven for thinking that it was the third placed Green Dragon who had actually been the victors, such was the home town support for their middle of the night arrival. The scenes were reminiscent of the French greeting long distance sailors on their return to port, as the images below indicate.
