The second leg of the Velux Five Oceans singlehanded around the world race began today with the five  competitors  setting  sail from Cape Town, South Africa bound for Wellington, NZ, a 7,000 mile voyage across the wild Southern Ocean.  Brad Van Liew, the one American racing, who won the first leg from La Rochelle, France to Capetown,  reports “bashing upwind in 25-35 knots of wind” sailing his Eco 60, Le Pingouin.  This is Van Liew’s third solo round the world race.   The second leg of the race was original supposed to begin last Sunday, but the start was postponed due to high winds and seas.
