Dr. Richie  Shulman on Captain of Temptress and the 2006 Newport to Bermuda WINNER of the Gibb's Hill 
 St. David's Lighthouse trophy stated:

                                                                           

"Jenifer - thank you. As always your prerace information was critical in our success. Your gulfstream analysis was spot on
 - and Nick Nicholson was able to take your information and put us right where we were supposed tobe. The cold eddy just
  south of the Stream was a spectacular boost. Dane's weather forcast also got it right. On Thursday night we were convinced
that we should go East - and after the Friday AM weather briefings we changed our plans and went West - that did it for us!"
