Anyone keeping up with the around the world crewed race? Formerly the Whitbread Race. They are currently on the fifth and longest, leg of the race and most of the boats are just around Cape horn, well known for some of the worst sea conditions on the planet. They have survived the vastness of the southern ocean and now in the Atlantic heading for Rio.
Wish I could be one of the crew, but looks like I will just have to go to Cave Springs this weekend and drown my daydreams in scotch!
Marina/Ramp: Currently mostly out of Jamestown but spend a lot of time at the other Marinas.
Pre2012-Conley Bottom Mostly, Waitsboro, Alligator I&II ramps, Leesford, Pulaski County Park (when it has water), Grider, State Dock (via boat), and Jamestown are a few places you might find me.
Just google Volvo Ocean Race. They have a great website where you can e-mail the boats! For those with a fast modem streaming broadcasts and also have T.V. coverage on digital channel # 14.6 @ 11:00 pm EDT. I don't have cable or satellite service just good ole over the air reception thanks to Mr. Hillman!
