Happy New Year, twice in a Day!

Tanguy De Lamotte o/b Initatives Coeur, has the pleasure of Sailing as the first of all VG Boats into the New 2013.
As he is sailing soon passed the Date line, he will be confronted within a day for the 2nd time to see the start of the New Year 2013; strange things can happen while travelling through time.

The leaders are expected to pass Cape Horn on NewYears Day and will than set sail on the last stretch home over the Atlantic. Mostly the Atlantic has some surprises in waiting and there will be the Doldrums to pass again. So surprises may come and chances are still for a handful of skippers for the Victory.
