Volvo Ocean Race leaves for India

The talk about the wind and the likely breeze was finally laid to rest, when at 4.30 pm (Indian time) today, the race team bid goodbye to Cape Town, South Africa to head towards Cochin, India. Fortunately, the wind was below five knots/hour, which as I understand was favorable for the sailors. The report from Volvo Ocean Race also says the weather was "perfect for a re-start." For the past one week, Cape Town was encountering heavy wind. One of the teams, Green Dragon was waiting to fix the last minute trouble. They were lucky enough to get the new spreader last midnight and be ready with other seven teams for the perfect start.

The 17 days ahead is likely to be exciting and I am looking forward to read regular notes from each race team. Their first leg was full of exciting notes, on their encounters at the sea. It also gave me a rough idea of the race life.
