Very sad news from the Volvo yesterday.
One of the crew of Scallywag has been lost overboard in the Southern Ocean about 1800 miles from Cape Horn. They are in bad weather and have made a extensive search without finding him. MRCC have contacted a large vessel which is heading to the area but is some 400 miles away. The yacht has now had to head for the nearest land - South America - which is some 1200 miles away. The other yachts were too far ahead to be turned around and weather conditions did not make it even feasible.
RIP.
Neville
