No Wasted Time

PUMA's il mostro is hauled out of the water.

Ken Read joined the other skippers for a welcome ceremony in Galway.

The PUMA team wasted no time in getting to work in Galway once il mostro hit the dock. After an early morning arrival, the shore team had the boat pulled out of the water by 8:00 am. The sailing team went to work at eating an Irish breakfast and sleeping (and maybe a few pints of Guiness). Skipper Ken Read was back in the race village last night for a welcome ceremony. What a busy day!
