"It's good to be half an hour in front rather than half an hour behind," Phil said when we came across the team rowing up Coles Bay in an extremely light north-easterly. Steve Walker said their winning move had been, as Terry earlier suspected, gybing earlier and heading inshore. They experienced mostly seven to nine knots and never more than 15 on their way down the coast, but did 11 knots for five hours during the night. Although it probably wasn't enough for Phil, runner Mark Guy said it had been a great night for him and running partner Tim Piper. He said they were recovering well from yesterday's run, which they finished in a blistering five hours 47 minutes. "We wanted to make a statement to the other teams," Guy said. "Tim just ran fantastically."
