Stock images of race leaders Groupama Sailing Team, skippered by Franck Cammas (FRA), finish first on leg 8, from Lisbon to Lorient - France, during the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012. We flew in to the storm in the Bay Of Biscay with our fearless pilot to shoot images of man and machine pushing sailing to its limits. It felt that way in the chopper as well. It was blowing and throwing the chopper sideways in the wind gusts. Huge seas and high winds sent this Volvo 70 and her crew screaming through the ocean at 35 plus knots. Look how much water is moving over the boat and how far back the crew need to be. Paul Todd/OUTSIDEIMAGES.COM OUTSIDE IMAGES PHOTO AGENCY . . . . .
