AUCKLAND RACE VILLAGE OPENS TOMORROW
Friday the 27 February marks the day that the Auckland Race village is open to the public. For a good idea of what the exhibitions will look like, do page through some of the older blogs especially the Cape Town Expo, to see the various displays, events and activities. As can be seen, the Volvo Ocean Race villages are meant to be deliver a uniform experience throughout the race, but the culture of each specific city gives it a completely different charm. Abu Dhabi delivered a different experience from Sanya and so will Auckland. Kiwi culture is interesting and exciting and they take their sports seriously, especially water sport. The Ocean Race fleet is due to arrive from Saturday onwards. Today is the 17th day of the Sanya to Auckland Volvo Ocean Race, and Dongfeng Team has once again snatched the lead position from Team Abu Dhabi. They have been rubber banding for position between Mapfre and Abu Dhabi for the past two weeks. However, it is Wolf desire, as indicated on his placard below, that they stay in the lead for the rest of the leg but most probably for the rest of the race. It would be the most amazing thing if Dongfeng won Leg 4 of the Volvo ocean Race as well considering it's Charles Caudrelier’ birthday today. Lets keep our fingers crossed for the Chinese team. Theses some great pics of leg 4 below.
