Team Our Dianne Finishes after 10 days and 1 hour.

At last, after almiost 5 days of darkness we have finally found a computer where we can post. On Saturday at about 11am St helena time Our Dianne crossed the finish line in perferct tropical weather. Banjo, after some incredible sailing managed to secure line honours by about 6 hours, crossing the line at dawn Saturday. Communication was brought to a standstill after a battery problem prevented us from starting the engine and charging batteries, resulting in a dangerously dark boat for the last few days at sea. Despite that spirits were high all the way to the finish and we now wait at Annes Restautrant for the rest of the fleet to arrive. It's now monday afternoon and the next boats are only expected early Tuesday, almost 72 hours after Banjo and ourselves. As far as the Governors Cup trophy race is concerned the only boat still out there with a chance of taking it is Reaction, who are still more than two days out. So without jumping the gun we confidently wait for the rest of the fleet to arrive. Life on the Island is exactly that, island life. We're sitting in Annes Restauarant now, a perfect island spot by the water surrounded by lush green palms and other island flora, the weather is hot and the beer is lined with condensation, perfect! The team is in great spirits and is looking forward to welcoming the rest of the fleet in the style we were welcomed.
