Yesterday we rented big fan boats to pull them out and the National Guard would not let us enter the city,

With a good wind these boats can fly. You can't sink them; they're practically indestructible.

We were able to put some boats between us and the Italian in today's first race, which gave us a comfortable lead. We then pushed the Italian back at the start of the last race then followed the Swiss boat around the course.

"Lives" of great men oft remind us as we o'er their pages turn, That we too may leave behind us - Letters that we ought to burn

I feel very, very proud to hold this (Oscar) because it tells me, and all of us at home, that we can do it.

Whatever adversaries these days, our Father, help us face them with courage.
