While it’s a little early to burn your bras in support of Team SCA, the pink ladies have most certainly answered any questions the world may have had about their ability to hang with the men of the VOR.  That’s thanks to a brave call from Libby G to split from the fleet toward the Spanish shore, where shift and velocity launched the girls clear into the lead at the last real geographical constraint until they get into the islands.  Will the Northerly position pay as the fleet heads out into the Atlantic?  Discuss it in the Leg 1 thread.  And check out the girls Flickr page for more great shots from Corinna.  Track the fleet here.
