Very cool animation showing the race thus far. From sitesALIVE, Great American III skipper Rich Wilson’s home. Rich is a sailor/educator, and the only American entry in the VG.

If you fancy following the Vendee from a different perspective I’m writing a blog called http://jonnymalbon.com (where I also posted that *great* animation earlier). Jonny’s the 34 year old skipper of another British boat called Artemis. I’m his brother and his friends and family are working together to cover the 26,000 mile race using only a blog and Twitter. Jonny is ‘tweeting’ from the boat as he goes (as far as we know this is a first) and they go directly onto the blog. Come and let us know what you think. It’s all a bit of an experiment but it’s fun. We’re using free media to see if we can do something different and a bit more organic than the ‘official’ race sites (which all look seriously expensive). Have a look at this video I found at the SailingXperience community: http://www.sailingxperience.com/en/news/article/30599
