Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012: Life On board
15-Dec-2011
It has been a case of go, stop, go, stop for the frustrated fleet since leaving Cape Town, South Africa as all six teams
race to chase down the same high speed front, but on varied courses now stretching 200 miles across the Indian Ocean.
The crews have reported the wind dropping to less than 10 knots and just minutes later gusting in excess of 25, making
for countless sail changes and exhausted sailors, who are virtually falling asleep standing up.
Heading into the weekend, Team Telefónica continue to lead with navigator Andrew Cape's gamble to take the most
northern course of the fleet paying the return of a 24 nautical mile break on their nearest competitor.
