It's getting late on Friday night but with a team of five only one of us gets to go to bed (not me). Isla has been woken from her disco nap and is pairing Rachel sitting East-West. My advice to them is not to be shy; if they have good hands bid on. Sometimes passing is riskier than bidding. Al and Kevin hope to continue their success North-South. They had two small bidding understandings in the first set but otherwise did well.

It seems I was wrong to fear the team would underbid.. This looks like a quiet hand, but apparently not.
East-West found themselves in 3S-5, which surprisingly was a winning score, as their team-mates saved them. 4H from North looks doomed (losing a Spade, two Hearts, one Diamond), but Kevin found some magic and made it to give us an early lead.
Update - we are well ahead. Here's a 6NT Kevin made. I'll wait to hear about it from him later.
The double dummy solver says 11 tricks is the limit, but what do they know. He got the Ace of herts lead, which helps.
