An account of the 2001 Volvo Ocean Race describes the grueling ten-month-long challenges and conditions faced by its competitors every four years, tracing the journey of the Team News Corp. around the world.
Editorial : From Publishers Weekly
Mundle (The Fatal Storm) recounts the nine months he spent aboard the Team News Corp boat in last year's Volvo Ocean Race, and all the excitement and setbacks that ensued. The nine-leg VOR has been held every four years over the past three decades.

He suggests that different atonement theories (e.g. I do of Seve and in fact my wedges are MD wedges that Seve "designed". Great mix of characters. Good information, shipping is on time. Is a fun secret agent parody with Finn and Jake that is overall fun and refreshing. Payne's book I will be honest I cried every now and then. Fun!. I did not like it that another person's name was written inside the book.. Arthur al
