Michael McCoy's website index page banner reveals a small lizard sunning itself on top of a large green leaf, in a tropical rainforest setting. The photograph is taken from underneath, sunlight from above luminating the lizard and the top of the leaf. The lizard's head and two right feet hang over the edge of the leaf, while the rest of the lizards body is seen as a shadow cast through the green of the leaf contrasted with a black background.

The icon banner to access the homepage of Peter Andrews. The photographic image within the icon shows a large sailing ship with square sails set, cruising up the Hudson River in New York and over the image in text is 'Peter Andrews, Photojournalist'. The buildings of the lower Manhatten skyline dominate the background, most noteably, the twin towers of New York's World Trade Centre. The sailing ship is the Norwegian sail training ship 'Christian Radich' and the photograph was taken by Peter from the stern of British registered sailing ship, 'The Eye of the Wind' during the Operation Sail 92 on New York Harbour, July 4, 1992.

Champagne conditions go flat.

After four hours of vintage downwind racing in flat seas and a 12 knot north-easterly breeze, the frontrunners in the Sydney Hobart have hunkered down for the long grind to windward that will probably get worse before it gets better.

At around 5.30pm this afternoon Adrienne Cahalan, navigator of Wild Oats XI, reported that the yacht was off Kiama, beating into a 20 knot south-easterly, which Cahalan anticipated would strengthen to 30-35 knots from the south-west by the time the supermaxi left the New South Wales coast and launched into Bass Strait tomorrow morning.

Wild Oats XI was holding a narrow lead over Wild Thing and Investec Loyal, which have been hard on her heels since the start of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia hosted race.

"It’s been a good race between us and Wild Thing and Investec Loyal," Cahalan said. "We’re all evenly matched."

The arrival of the southerly will most likely bunch the fleet up as the maxis slow down and enter boat preservation mode. Cahalan said that she expected all the big boats to head closer inshore during the night, to take what respite there is from the strengthening winds.

Certainly Grant Wharington and Sean Langman, the skippers of Wild Thing and Investec Loyal, will be delighted with this first stage of the race. The flat seas have suited Wild Oats XI. Like Mark Richards, skipper of Wild Oats XI, Langman will now nurse his big baby through the rough stuff so he can attack the line honours favourite in the flukier winds off the Tasmanian coast.

With some 45 miles separating Wild Oats XI and the tail-enders, the southerly front will work its way through the remainder of the fleet over the next few hours.
