a month at 20++knts solo non-stop around the clock, and three more months to go....that makes the Volvo ocean race look like fags with their stop over and billions dollars support crew...


at least there the vendee globe to follow daily with this crappy weather...

Whew, what a rescue! Hope they can keep the mast up on the rescue boat around the Horn. Funny that the race organizers in earlier news briefings said that there was communication between the boats when it turns out there was none!
