01January The Volvo 70 Puma powers out of Alicante at the start of the Volvo Ocean Race. This shot was taken some 50 miles offshore from a helicopter. However this picture was almost never taken. In one of those odd moments of fate, when we returned to refuel after the race start, the mechanic broke the key in the fuel cap of the helicopter! We then spent the next hour trying to fix it with only a Leatherman, as the boats disappeared over the horizon. It took us a long time to catch up. Nikon D700 70-200mm lens 1/800@f4 |
