PUMA skipper Ken Read and his crew of 10 arrived to a heroes welcome last night in Qingdao. After a brutal Leg Four, PUMA sailed their way to a massive comeback, taking a second place finish. The team was greated with a wonderful Chinese welcoming ceremony, complete with a walk on a replica Great Wall of China.
