I have been following the Volvo Ocean Race. My hometown favorite is Puma, but they did some damage to their boat this leg, so they have fallen behind. Here is the link if you want to follow along: http://www.volvooceanrace.org/
It's that time of year again, and Silence is gradually being put away for the winter. She has antifreeze in all of her freshwater systems now. The sails are still up, with still a small hope of one last sail, but it's probably not meant to be. We will likely pull the sails down this weekend.
