The start of Volvo Leg #3 started in heavy fog with very poor visibility, we were "IFR" on IdeesfixVIII, relying on GPS to remain close to FD2 situated close to the upwind mark. We followed the VO65 fleet under A1.5, but could not keep up with them under Code 0. They seem to use the Code 0 upwind and downwind in winds of less then 5 Knots. Sorry no pictures, however returning to Emirates Palace a cormoran joined us for a free ride home on TP52, good for him. He was kind enough to leave us his "business card" just before leaving.
