Volvo Ocean Race Virtual Game

I haven't had so much fun on a computer for long time!

The Volvo Ocean Race started over 2 weeks ago from southern Spain with eight boats. The Virtual Race started at the same time, and now has 43,408 boats. We're all in a battle (real and virtual) to get across the southern Atlantic. Its fascinating!

With windshifts every 12 hours in in the Virtual Race, there is a considerable amount of logging on at 11am and 11pm (UK time) to check short term tactics against long term strategy. I'm partnering my real life sailing partner, and we're finding it really helpful to improve communications between us when making decisions. This will definitely benefit our double-handed racing results offshore.

There is no doubt that, for some, this activity has taken over their lives. Go to
