That was super. Jimmy sailed a pretty smart race until leg 5.

One more to go!

It's not over. But the lady is warming up

Did I see something about some sort of attempt to recreate that, but with Six-fucking-60?
Jesus... the 80s could get away with it... nowadays, with shit bland music, it'll be bloody cringeworthy.

In fact - the coverage in general is super-cringey. At least with the lockdown coming back in effect for a little while - we were spared coverage of some "reporter" out in the crowd trialling different icecreams, hot-dogs, whatever. Oh - and "let's cut to our mate on a boat in the harbour, chatting with some boozed up insipid

Lester is good on the water. The interest reporting is

Someone saw "Do they know it's Christmas" and tried the same without much talent to draw on? That's terrible. Absolutely cringeworthy.

Lester and Robertson are good value. If that other guy would just shut the hell up and let the experts speak.
