THE Traditional Transpac Greeting of leis and mai tais at HYC...
that's Skip Novak "getting lei'd" while Florence Arthaud inhales some Aloha
we'd bet it's a mighty refreshing change from the fragrances likely on the boat ;)

The press moves in...
and on the left, that's the arm of ace sail maker/reporter
Jumpin' Jimbo Maselli with the tape rollin as the ESPN guys do the askin...

Bruno Peyron, owner/co-skip - is up first... more on the words later.

Roving-reporter/navigator Skip Novak was on deck next...
Skip did a really super job keeping the fans connected
to the voyage via Wireless NetXpress direct to their website
lot's of news from them there.

Co-skipper Cam Lewis, one of the more well-known of the multihull
luminati - had some interesting observations on this record-breaking
