Hi all!

"On November 9th 2008, at 13 h 02 French time (11 h 02 UT) 30
navigators will set sails aboard their 60'monohulls, heading towards
the three great capes, marking the southern tips of the African
continent, Australia and America. The Vendée Globe will start, for the
6th time, from the harbour of Les Sables d’Olonne, where it was born.
And as far as the rest of the story is concerned… well, it’s up to the
sailors themselves now."
