Volvo Ocean Race
It's a rather obscure sport so I doubt it has much of a following on here, but has anyone been following it? I spent some time at the event in Baltimore and had the chance to meet some of the crews.
Truly is a remarkable race. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse on the US-England leg with one member of ABN Amros Two getting killed and then the crew of movistar having to abandon ship and be rescued by the remaining ABN Amros Two crew.
Pretty dramatic stuff. Hopefully the rest of the race goes smoothly. For info, visit www.volvooceanrace.org. There's also a weekly show on Sportsnet following their progress.
