"To win, you have to believe you can do it. You have to be passionate about it. You have to really "want" the result -- even if this means years of work. The hardest part of any big project is to begin. We have begun -- we are underway -- we have a passion. We want to make a difference.

We hope that you and as many of your friends as possible will join us. All the best from the blakexpeditions team onboard Seamaster and in Venezuela".

Kia ora! Sir Peter... the tears are there... and yes, let's not mourn your death but celebrate your life... Black Magic... red socks... you and your Team NZ bringing the Cup home, and keeping it here... your charisma, your work, your purpose... thank you! You'll always be here... and sail with us...
