Volvo Ocean race- cel nav? - P.Rutherford - 10-14-2017

I was just watching a video about the Volvo ocean race 2014-15 and at this link;

...it shows a sailor using a sextant.  I do not know what year they show in that excerpt of the video, as the sound is off (intentionally).  Nice to look at.

Paul, great video, thank you. We have about 93F at 1800 now, 10/15/2017.  so it's kind of refreshing to see there are other weather conditions than 9 year long drought ( with occasional 15 minutes sprinkles)
