Gottfried, you'll appreciate this. Larry Ellison has just gone up in my opinion. This race was big news on the TV here as the storm that hit the race was the biggest ever. Many people died and were injured. Most people turned back, but Ellison made it through and won.

Ellison was in tears after surviving what he said were the worst sea conditions he had ever experienced, according to wire reports on Dow Jones News Service. Ellison's boat, Sayonara, arrived Tuesday morning about 8 a.m. local time, according to various news reports. Ellison, who also raced last year, was asked if he would return for the Sydney-to-Hobart race. He responded according to the news report: "My first reaction is not if I live to a thousand years. But who knows?" "It was just awful, I've never experienced anything remotely like this," said Ellison, reportedly. "It's been a very emotional experience to get here. This is not what this is supposed to be about. A lot of us are upset." Ellison's crew learned of the deaths of their competitors via radio before arriving.
