Volvo’s Monsters
The very famous Red Arrows Display by Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team. I’ve seen them many times at different events, they are really GOOD.
If I’m still little, I would have gone crying to my mummy.
Oh yeah, Puma merchandis…

The last to sail in… Puma Ocean Racing Team - the winning team of the day.
The result of hours of waiting… sunburnt! The race ended around 2-ish and they only sailed in at 7pm. No one knew exactly what time they’ll come in but to wait… I ventured off to a deserted location with no crowds (also no shades/shelter) and knew I’m at a right place when there were 4 other professional photographers stationing there…
The crowd
In order to get a good view, I had to battle through 3 lines of crowd! Times like this I’ll have to whip out my skills of gaining others sympathy that this poor petite girl couldn't see anything…. opps and I did make my way to the front in seconds… Thank you very much!
Puma’s team with families… That securely locked box is filled with Puma’s team gears

Telefonica Black- 3rd
Telefonica Blue - 2nd
And the winner is… Puma!
Not forgetting a champagne shower for Puma’s Skipper, you rocks!
Coming to this end, I think its not difficult to guess which team I support. Puma is 1 point away from Telefonica Blue now… the excitement is choking me!
