Sailing enthusiasts in Cape Town are busy making plans to watch the big departure ceremony of the Volvo Ocean Race.
The eight yachts will embark on the second leg of this grueling round the world race in reverse order of last race positions, which means Telefonica Black will leave first. She'll be followed by Delta Lloyd, Team Russia, Telefónica Blue, Green Dragon, Ericsson 3, Puma and leg one winners Ericsson 4.
The departure ceremony starts at 11h45 and the boats will head for the race course. The second leg, from Cape Town to Cochin in India, gets underway at 14h00.
I'm sure Capetonians will be able to work out where the best viewing areas will be to watch the spectacle. Here's the race course diagram...
