LEG 7 NEWPORT USA TO LISBON PORTUGAL
The Volvo Ocean race Leg 8 Lisbon to Lorient is well underway and it's really nice to see Vestas Wind as part of the fleet once again. After a hair raising experience during leg 2 in which Vestas Wind was wrecked in the atolls, she's back with a vengeance. Currently Vestas Wind is in second position with Team SCA is in pole position and some what of a bummer for me, Dongfeng is in 7th position. The pics below shows Vestas Wind in its element. The last two Vestas Wind pics is certainly not of its proudest moments.
