FYI to anyone interested in Ocean Sailing Races - 

The 70' sailboats involved in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race have begun arriving at Bell Harbor in Seattle. Bell Harbor is the end of leg 6, a sail of 5,400 nautical miles from Quingdeg, China. The boats will be in Bell Harbor until April 28th when they start leg 7 - racing to Panama.
