Volvo Yawn…

The first inport race in Volvo Ocean Race history went off on Saturday. Light wind, pretty boring affair. It’s hard to make these machines seem dull, but racing them inshore in light wind is a pretty good strategy. Note to Volvo: stick to the offshore stuff. For the record, the race was won by Ericsson, which now has a half point lead over Brasil 1. The real start, the ocean racing part, comes next Saturday. I think I’ll take a nap until then…

First Blood?: “Dammit, Neal. How’d you let that lugger slip around the mark first…?”
