Louis Vuitton Cup - Flight 5
Apr 25th, 2007 by Steve Sandells
Yesterday was a good day for sailing with both the planned flights taking place. Tight hard fought races were the main theme of the day, with Lunna Rosa just getting pipped at the line by less than 8 seconds by the American challenge BMW ORACLE Racing to remain unbeaten.
The South African boat finished a good day by winning both its heats. They easily overcame China Team in the 5th flight, but at least the chinese were able to finish with all it’s crew members on board.
Today looks set to be another good day, with winds currently blowing at around 10 knots.
The standings after flight 5 are:

This doesn’t have anything to do with this post, but I love that song you have playing - If I Had A Million Dollars. Good choice.

Hi Sandy,
I thought it was a funny song to put on here. Why not leave an answer to the If I Had A Million Dollars? post, about what you’d do with a million.

What would I do if I had a million dollars? Well, first thing, I would pay off all my bills. Then I would buy a house and invest the rest.
I had a good sum of money when I was 18 and really blew it. I was set up to where I was living off the interest.
If I ever end up with a large sum again, I guarantee I will do it much differently. I will make sure I’m set up for life.
Now, what about yourself? What would you do?
