AT SEA – JANUARY: In this handout image provided by the Volvo Ocean Race, onboard Dongfeng Race Team. There are two stories in this photo: First, Ying Kit Cheng’s (aka Kit) girlfriend, Bin Bin, said to send her a photo of a rainbow. Bin Bin, that’s for you. Second: Liu Xue, aka Black thought he was actually getting off watch and going to bed. I’m pretty sure that lasted about ten minutes during Leg 3 between Abu Dhabi, UAE and Sanya, China. The Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 is the 12th running of this ocean marathon. Starting from Alicante in Spain on October 11, 2014, the route, spanning some 39,379 nautical miles, visits 11 ports in 11 countries (Spain, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, China, New Zealand, Brazil, United States, Portugal, France, the Netherlands and Sweden) over nine months. The Volvo Ocean Race is the world’s premier ocean race for professional racing crews. (Photo by Sam Greenfield/Dongfeng Race Team/Volvo Ocean Race via Getty Images)
