November 5 saw the start of the 2nd stage of the Volvo Ocean Race round-the-world regatta from Lisbon to Cape Town. The first 12 hours of the stage were marked by rough seas and strong winds in excess of 30 knots. "Saw some scary things today. A wave tossed Bianca into the cockpit, even though she was strapped in. And there she lay, helpless, in the cockpit, tied to her cable, with hundreds of litres of water whipping in her face. Liz quickly got to her and helped her," recalls Sam Greenfield, an on-board reporter for the Turn the Tide On Plastic team. The photo shows the yellow Brunel boat transformed into a submarine, just like in the Beatles' song.
