And they're off!! ARC 2007

Bootlegger of Mann

Sun 25 Nov 2007 15:05

The spectacular sight as some 230 yachts pass over the Start Line
to begin the 2,700 mile crossing to St Lucia. Within an hour they
were well spread out in all directions and , a few hours more one
was left with two or three boats as company. Hard to believe we were
all heading to the same place
