But, I'm amazed. Did Mike Golding get resurrected from the dead?
Must have signed with the devil!

Wasn't he
lost at sea when the keel fell of his boat in mid-Atlantic several years ago
during a trial?

Apparently not : "Watch out! Here’s the favourite! The former
professional fireman is certainly a fearsome opponent for all the others
in this Vendée Globe, in which he will be sailing for the third time.
Seventh in 2001 and third in 2005 after achieving the feat of sailing
his boat home to Les Sables d’Olonne after she lost her keel, the
Englishman could well be getting the better over his “froggy” rivals..."
