At this early stage in the race, positions tend to fluctuate rather a lot and this leg is proving no different as the fleet of ten Clipper 68s eased out into
the Southern Ocean........

......Big Brother in the Southern Ocean: westernaustralia.com gained the assistance of Roberto Conte for this leg, the Italian Stallion star of this year's Big Brother 6 in the UK. Roberto who hails from Italy but now lives in Liverpool is forging a career in the media but has taken time out to sail on this; the most difficult and challenging leg so far.

Asked for his views before departing from Durban, Roberto said 'The conditions will be similar to Big Brother in that a number of us have to live in really close quarters but I'm not expecting anyone to be voted off this time!'

Watch this space for regular updates on the progress of Roberto and the rest of the crew.
