Vendée Globe
Posted on January 31, 2009
Over the past few months I’ve been following the Vendée Globe boat race. It’s a solo circumnavigation of the world in a sailboat, and the winner is due to arrive in the port of Les Sables d’Olonne in France. With a lead of a few days (more than 1200 nautical miles) over his nearest competitor, the only way Michel Desjoyeaux could lose now would be to sink. He will have gone around the world in 83 days, which is a solo sailing record.
