Just after Ten last night. Mike Slade’s Maxi ICAP Leopard crossed the finish line to finish the race in second place. Obviously they were not content but Slade and his crew where far from disappointed.
They knew that the weather forecast was strongly favouring their rivals and expected that they could do little about it.
Slade is an enigmatic character and a true gentleman. Several of the Esimit Europa crew were dockside and Slade didn’t hesitate to congratulate them on their win. Afterwards, the ICAP Leopard crew enjoyed some pasta and fine wine and no doubt some great stories. Which were emanating from the dinner table as the crew laughed and joked with each other. ICAP Leopard may not have won this race but Slade’s passion for fun was still undiminished.
ICAP Leopard will live to fight another day and we all know how dangerous a wounded animal can be.
