"The only thing on our minds is getting to Singapore as soon as possible while avoiding the fishermen and their nets, the vast amount of commercial shipping, the large amount of litter in the water which ranges from a plastic cup to the odd tree trunk, the tides, the sandbanks, the storm clouds and associated lightening, the pirates, the sea snakes and the areas of no wind."

Wild Oats XI under spinnaker on
Hobart's Derwent River near the end of its 2006 Rolex Sydney
to Hobart Yacht Race. Crossing Hobart's Castray Esplanade
finish line at 9.52pm, Wild Oats XI had successfully
taken out back to back line honours with the previous year's
result. Considering the available light at that time of
night and a bumpy Derwent River boat ride, what do you
think are the odds are of getting a shot like this?
