Gumball’s Got Nothing on the Volvo Ocean Race
18 May 2009, 18.13 | Posted in Uncategorized | No comments »
And you thought sailing was a fun day out on the water? The Volvo Ocean Race took off for it’s next leg from Boston to Galway, Ireland. It is a full on non-stop race. Seven sail boats with crews of 11 are bombing across the Atlantic at this moment. No support team. Just them, water, wind, and a little help from above.
Many thanks to the good people of Helly Hansen for inviting Karen and I on board for the chase boat view. Absolutely killer.
More on this soon. I’ve never experienced anything like it.
How about this – Boston says goodbye like no other city. We let a massive freighter right onto your race course for the fun of it.
