Pirate Update-June 19, 2006 An act of Piracy was committed on the waters off Gothenborg Sweden around mid day on June 17th. As good Pirates would, and should, we stole first place on Leg 9 from ABN2, just 20 miles from the finish line. And what a treasure to steal! It was the biggest leg […]
Wow! What a way to finish the race! Hollywood could not have written a better script. As Pirates would, we stole first place from ABN Amro Two today to win the final leg of this marathon. The crowd here in Gothenborg was HUGE. 100’s of thousands. We are all very happy and with our families […]

The fleet paraded down the Maas River, accompanied by hundreds of spectator craft. The 22 miles of shore line was populated with thousands of cheering fans. […]
Seahorse June 2006 The end of another lap is near. I am in New York right now about to depart for Portsmouth on leg 7 of the Volvo Ocean Race. It has been an adventurous trip and at times, a bit more eventful than necessary. But the race did not disappoint, and I have had […]
