I’ve made my way to the Sydney Harbour docks before, but never have they been so alive than on the day of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race 2013. Before me stood 628 nautical miles of danger and 94 fleets comprised of seven former race winners, all of whom were vying for line honors. My heart was beating out of my chest, my brain was buzzing. My training was complete. Race day had finally arrived.
