Passing Cape Horn

Dec 14, 2008 Published under games

With my boat “otherway” in the Vendee Globe Virtual Regatta I am currently rounding Cape Horn in the “other” direction.

Whereas my other boat Blanquilla that sails the race in the “correct” direction constantly has the wind in the back, this route is proving to be a constant challenge!

In the Volvo Ocean Race Game we have just started leg 3, Cochin, India to Singapore. It is a very short leg, but going through the tiny Strait of Malacca will probably turn out to be tough!
