Here's a look behind-the-scenes of @ScallywagHK's arrival into #Itajai on Thursday – leaving just 72 hours for #TheBoatyard🔧 to haul out the boat, service and return it to the water for the #Leg8 Start on Sunday! 👇

Squid Mobile is a free marine weather app that can request and display GRIB files. It is developed by Great Circle-Squid for iOS and Android devices.
@GreatCircleBe is the official weather provider at the #VolvoOceanRace used by the navigators on the VO65s. You can try it out 👍

How do the sailors stay safe at sea?
It’s no surprise that #VolvoOceanRace puts safety of the crew first, therefore a Global Maritime Distress & Safety System is fitted on all VO65s.
Vessels in the area and the nearest SAR will be alerted if an 🆘 is issued.

LPA #93W, a newly-developing weather system over Central Micronesia in the Caroline Islands, likely to develop into a Tropical Depression (TD) within the next 24 to 48 hours. Could pose a threat to Southern Philippines by early next week. goo.gl/UcEjt1

7 knots of breeze and building from the south east. With this current speed, we could be finished within the hour. Thanks to @RaceExperts for keeping us updated. @jesusrenedo / Volvo Ocean Race

This photo shows just how close #Leg3 has been – after over 6,000 brutal #southernocean miles, the teams are racing into @vormelbourne in sight of each other! 😱

You know you are offshore racing when the closest ship is a “spaceship”.

Out there in case of an emergency your competitor is also your closest friend.
Just call them on @CobhamSATCOM SAILOR radios or FleetBroadband via @InmarsatGlobal

Leg 3 is double up on points, but also risk. Below ship traffic map shows how remote & alone the @VolvoOceanRace boats will be the coming 2 weeks. @CobhamSATCOM SAILOR radios, beacons & mini-C distress alerts via @InmarsatGlobal 🛰️ will help the sailors in case of an emergency.
