After rounding the Azores a few days ago, the Volvo Ocean Race fleet had a bit of a sleigh ride east toward the finish of leg 8 in Lorient.  Video footage from Volvo Ocean Race competitor CAMPER with ETNZ shows a big wave crashing against the crew on deck while skipper Chris Nicholson is at the helm sailing over 25 knots boat speed on the Bay of Biscay heading to Lorient, France.
