Nic Douglass - Adventures of a Sailor Girl - was on the dock at the Viaduct Harbour in downtown Auckland for the Stary of Leg 5 of the Volvo Ocean Race

She did a 'dock walk' with photographer/videographer Jen Edney, before the sailors headed off on leg 5 of the Volvo Ocean Race following a four day delay. Very interesting atmosphere with no crowds, just the sailors and their focus on the Southern Ocean.
