In a pre leg 4 e-mail Neal Petersen of www.no-barriers.com commented, "On this last leg I have a lot to think about regarding our future, and whether or not I will remain in ocean yacht racing. I am concerned about the major funding needed to be competitive. There are many major decisions to be made by the time I get to Charleston. This last leg is to be fully savored."
Neal is clearly undecided about his sailing future. However, with the motto: In life there are no barriers, only solutions, it will be interesting to see Neal work through his decision as he sails Leg 4 to Charleston.
Torresen Sailing Site will provide daily coverage, beginning with the start on Saturday.
