getting ready for rio

after a well deserved little rest and a good sampling of french hospitality the crews are now focussed on final preparations before racing off to rio on tuesday morning. the starting gun will be fired at 09.00 uk time. the race to rio will take around 4 weeks and this will be by far the longest the majority of the amateur crews have endured / enjoyed a 360 degree horizon.

the gun will also start a 4 week period of addiction to the race viewer for all us crew and supporters still onshore. see www.clipperroundtheworld.comindex.php/Follow/RaceViewer to get hooked.
