These folks are super human! I can only imagine the determination a human must have to complete or even enter this type of race. Around the world NONSTOP and SOLO! This is no joke.

Well back to the serious discussion. Those who are competing in the Vendee have some truly serious balls. I cannot help but feel that with this many competitors, the level that they have pushed these boats too and the lack of experience that some have, that you will see some issues. I think the last time around there were 2-3 boats abandoned or rescued. In the promo video there are some great moments that you can see the intensity, drama, fatigue and even fear on their faces.
Kind of like Seth when you put the F16's on the kiddie course... that alone was worth the price of admission! Brillant Rick, just F@!#ing BRILLIANT!
Here is one you can use Robi ![[Linked Image]](http://www.metalfree.com/a/cat/hot-babe-on-cat.jpg)
