Departure on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 at 18h00 GMT+1 for 3400 miles.
The finish line closes on Monday, November the 22nd, 2009 at 20h00 GMT+1.
Dear Sailors,
You’ve just completed one of the longest legs of this marathon race. No time to rest so far!
Tomorrow, it’s back to the sea for the start of the third leg.
The plan : In approximately 3 weeks of racing, you will cross the South Atlantic, quite a complex route. You will have to zigzag between the areas of light wind in the South Atlantic High Pressure to arrive safe and sound at the southern tip of Africa, Cape Town. This leg will also take you towards the most southerly point of the Clipper 09-10 Round the World Yacht Race.
Start : Rio de Janeiro, Tuesday, October 27 at 18:00 GMT+1
Arrival: Cape Town (South Africa)
As with the previous leg there are no waypoints on the course to constrain your imagination, so be creative!
The finish line will close on Sunday, November 22nd at 20h00 GMT+1. If you're out of time your boat will be automatically sent to Cape Town, and your ranking will be the one you had just before your teleportation.

Just when it started getting good...I'm going to have to set her and forget her for a week....I just would have preferred 30 knots out of the N.E in this game instead of the real deal later this week..

Cool, it looks like I had a good breeeze for a few days. Speaking of wind my wife met me in Lauderdale after a quick delivery last W. She had booked a cruise to Cozumel Th. - today. The "Enchantment" departed Cozumel Sat. night with Ida right behind us. 50+ on the nose for 20 hrs..Awesome! Best cruise I've ever been on!
