Hi Sam and Sidney, We understand it has been very tough from the beginning. Congratulations for sorting out numerous issues including the auto-pilot repair by Sam. She confirms her reputation of excellent engineer, (able to adapt to B&G instead of NKE)! Wish you a safe and more quite race from now on. All the best. Sincerely Paul Georges and family.

Dear Sam & Sidney, Utterly gripping blogs from you both. Fantastic reading. Awed but not overwhelmed is how you seem to be. Plus your irrepressible sense of humour and riveting detail make your daily updates compulsive. And what a sail! Defintively professional and magnificent. God speed and be with you both. Go Artemis! Best regards, Andy McMorran.
