Yey 🙂 Me back. Not caught up yet but getting there 🙂
Yeah – there’s two major round the world races – the Vendee and the Volvo. The Volvo’s a little different – it’s run over a series of legs with boats that have full crews. I think there’s a bit of “stick together as a team” aspect in the Volvo which means you get a bit shielded from the personalities involved …
It’s good to know that with all the carnage at the start (big storm in the Bay of Biscay !) and the various broken bits of sailor and boat in this race, they’ve all come through ok. I think the fella with the broken leg was at the finish line to welcome Sam Davies back in.
Next one in 3 years 9 months time 🙂
