 If my luck holds I will be going down to Vigo to be on a friend´s yacht to see the beginning of the first leg of the "Volvo World Race," which was formerly known as the Whitbred Race.The race starts on Saturday and if I can make it, I will bring back some pics of my day in Vigo. I am rooting for the Pirates of the Caribbean because I like their logo. The 1st leg is from Vigo in Galicia to Cape Town, South Africa
