• Extremely impressed with the fact that the fleet pulled through the return leg after hearing the veterans claim this was the worst they had been through
• I went to Bermuda early
• Roy Greenwald on Cordelia slowed down for 1.5 hours for Eko to catch up so he could pass to her his propane lighter so Katie could light her stove
• Perseverance hit whale 10 miles out from finish in Bermuda and deformed the rudder and still won that leg
