Better looking day this time. Any Kiwi boats?

Very nice Seeker. If you are interested you can find the Yacht Tracker on this site http://rolexsydneyhobart.com/default.asp it shows Yacht direction, speed and distance. You can zoom in on the leaders and the battlers, very cool.

as it turns out the current leader-which I found out by looking at the Rolex site Mick posted- is a Kiwi vessel-Konica Minolta

That's a cool site BTW

Seeker,
and not unlike the previous race a few casualties, unfortunately, sorry to hear this, although no loss of life by the look of it.
I guess the Nicorette that won is an Ocker?

In the end a Phyrric victory-Nicorette won't be chasing line honours any more, her captain and owner is reported to have said -too hard and too risky
