Volvo Ocean Race Leg 2 - One Day to Eclipse Island


Author: Volvo Ocean Race Media

Temperatures are still rising for the sailors, while a week ago it was freezing, the water is up at 12 centigrade and the air temperature peaks at over 20. Sea life has changes as well. Birds have dominated the Southern Ocean, now the whales are back. News Corp sighted two big Humpbacks giving them a private show with the tails high up in the air.

Positions within the fleet are not changing at all, just the odd mile that one yacht loses or gains. Illbruck maintains the lead with solid speed as the most windward yacht, while ASSA ABLOY, SEB, News Corp and djuice win and lose with the rhythm shifts and pressure comes through.

Amer Sports Too has slowed down a bit while Amer Sports One is still gaining.
