At day Break on the 30th Team Creative inTension where only a couple of miles from “turning the corner” at Tasman Island. The crew have halved the lead fellow Tasmanian entrant Fruit had on them to be just 7 1/2 miles and are still chasing hard.
The crew are very much looking forward to seeing loved ones again and the traditional Hobart welcome this afternoon at a decent hour. Fish and Chips have been ordered by the crew.

A function was held last night at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania to farewell skippers and crews off to compete in this years Rolex Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
A highlight to all was the appearance of Tony Bullimore who took a break from preparing for his round the world record challenge to come and bid the crews good luck.
