The VOR-flight round the world

Pirates of the Caribbean beat the other boats to Cape Town when the arrived Sunday November 27. We are not sure if there is a scoring gate for taking a VO 70 over 10.000 feet altitude, but there should definitely be one because this is the first time a boat has taken a flight on the first leg in the history of Whitbread and Volvo Ocean Race. It’s also the first time that a boat that hasn’t completed all the legs actually can win the “premier offshore round the world race”. It’s a strange, strange world.
