Ocean (kinda) Racing

Some drone footage of the current overall leader of the Volvo Ocean Race; MAPFRE in the doldrums on their way to Hong Kong after leaving Melbourne on the 2nd of Jan. I was very excited to see Australia as a late addition to the 8 month round the world ocean race after a 10 year hiatus. I went down to the pier and watched MAPFRE win leg 3 on their way into the heads on Christmas night and I also watched the full fleet for the start of leg 4. It appeared to be really intense and hard sailing through the roaring forties from Cape Town to Melb, very different to the footage shown here. Best use of a drone that I have seen to date but I am still rooting for team Brunel.
