Ship's Log:
´Pirates of the Caribbean´, with a great skull-and cross-bone
spinnaker, has crossed the finish line just minutes behind ´ABN Amro
1´. They´re now clearing a path amongst the spectator craft at
terrific speed, unable to slow down. Our crew are wide-eyed, and
waiting for a crash which, fortunately, doesn´t come.
´James Craig´ has the honour of being the official starting vessel,
and our anchorage between Williamstown and St. Kilda gives us an
excellent view of the Volvo In-port race. It´s a sparkling, sunny
day, with a good 20 knot Southerly, punctuated by the shock of our
cannon, and the thup-thup-thup of the helicopters chasing after the yachts.
The third leg of the Volvo Ocean Race Circumnavigation will commence
off Station Pier, Port Melbourne, at 1300 hrs on Sunday 12 February,
by which time ´James Craig´ should be heading North, towards Port
Jackson. --- James Parbery.
