Volvo Ocean Race Leg 6

Start of the Volvo Ocean Race on the Chesapeake, Sunday May 7th 2006. Photo's taken by Molly Richards from the decks of a posh Menorquin 160 trawler - the ride was courtesy of those nice people at Gratitude Yachting Center. We were on the Eastern shore side just in front of the start line, so very close when the racers tacked onto starboard following a wind shift and came through the spectator fleet. Molly insists she wasn't tipsy - most of the photo's were taken one-handed in the chop from all the spectator boats, hence the jaunty angles :)
