LAKE MACQUARIE SAILORS TACKLE TOUGH CONDITIONS IN SOUTHERN OCEAN

Lake Macquarie sailors Kyle Langford and Lucas Chapman continue to make their way from South Africa to Melbourne as part of Leg Three of the Volvo Ocean Race.
“From what I can tell the Southern Ocean is a place that’s good to watch through the computer screen. It’s isolated, cold and windy and definitely as difficult if not worse than what I was expecting.”
Thankfully conditions have eased, allowing the locals to make a special appearance.
Langford believes his crew is a strong chance of being on the podium around Boxing Day.
