In 2005/2006, Melbourne was a port of call from mid January to mid February 2006. I should have travelled then, to check out the yachts.
For the 2008/2009 season, the yachts are currently in Cochin (India).

Though, there is still some way to go, the current leader is Ericsson 4 - also the favourite to win.

The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup is another major ocean race, with much bigger yachts.
Ranger (Cayman Islands) - overall winner in the Cruising Division of the 19th Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup

Another magnificent looking yacht was Moneypenny (USA) which competed in the Mini Maxi Division

Though I would never go on a holiday cruise (but perhaps never say never), I did almost enlist in the navy once.

Today, I fixed the gaps under the side fence/gate by screwing two 10 cm wide wooden fence palings joined together and did some more painting of it.
