Alisyn, Anchors Away!

On May 10th, 2006 Alisyn had the opportunity to take a tour and sail on the world's fastest sailboat, ABN-AMRO One.
The ABN-AMRO is competing in the Volvo Ocean Race 2005-2006, a 10 month race around the world.

Alisyn learns that the race lasts for 10 months, sometimes  at sea for over 20 days, and there is no shower on board.
Alisyn, stay up wind of those guys!

LOOK OUT, ALISYN! Those are pirates!

This steering stuff is easy!   That barge is going to get out of the way, isn't it?

Alisyn returns to port, now an 'old salt'.
Alisyn greatly enjoyed this assignment and had a great time!



A sad post note.
On May 18th, the ABN-AMRO One's sister ship, the ABN-AMRO Two, lost one of her crew during the ' The New York to Portsmouth' leg of the race. The 32 yr old crew member Hans Horrevoets was washed overboard and perished.
