Thanks for the response guys.

Here go some more questions, if you don't mind.

How long would you say it took you to right the boat after the capsizes? I didn't realize you capsized twice! What were the causes of the capsizes? A puff? A wave? A combo? Any shark dreams while kicking in the ocean?
Also, on Wednesday when we heard about the problem with the spinnaker pole someone asked if you were going to continue the race. Did you guys at any moment discuss the possibility of not continuing? and if so, what made you decide to go on?(I think this is a good "life lesson" in general, where at times a situation may feel or seem hopeless, fighting on instead of giving up really can put you back in the game).

And finally, what did your physical training consist of? Aerobic training? Strenghth building? and if so did you concentrate on certain groups of muscles that you use during sailing? or was it just general strength building.

Thanks again for your sharing the whole experience. You guys had quite a following during the week!
