To the Team:

      I decided to write my season wrap up tonight before the race, because tomorrow's race will need no review. Whether you guys are successful or not; I didn't want the sudden high or low to cloud my thoughts as to my feelings. We have had our tragedies and sorrow and a win tomorrow would be nice. But as I've said in the past the hard things have made us closer as a brotherhood.

      I look back at my time at Sea and my association with the team and it's always been positive and a real source of reward for me. This year has been special, maybe in a small way because I knew it would be my last and wanted to enjoy every moment and event. But more so I think you guys were different, It seemed you had a sense of purpose and understood we put something that not many other teams can match.

      So in leaving I know I can always look foward to see and hear about the accomplishments of our family.

       Coach Salerno
