The near capsize on San Francisco Bay this morning quickly brought a nations heartbeat to a dead
stop. Armchair sailors spilt rum or tea
and the drinks stopped for a moment in waterfront watering holes in
ports everywhere .
Relief was on the faces or all and their silence spoke more leagues than most have sailed on the waves. New Zealand’s
aspirations and dreams were within seconds of being shattered before the sea gods
looked after our boat today.
Our skipper and crew
are among the finest sailors on the on planet. They seek higher things than
fame and personal fortune. They sail with our nation's will and know if they can
retrieve the cup, Auckland and New Zealand inc will be advanced more than
political spin and sound bites of recent years . Everything about this crew and their campaign is
100 % Pure New Zealand. That is why we love them .
This is what we would like to see
