At a press conference yesterday the race management was asked just how many algae-collecting boats were on standby - the answer was 'enough'. Take a really close look at these images, shot at 0900 hrs local time today, 12th August. Check out the huge number of boats out on the horizon, along the algae barrier. More than just a flotilla, it's a real fleet.
Sail-World NZL editor Richard Gladwell reports that it tastes 'quite nice' but suggests that diners 'rinse off the e.coli' before consuming.
Latest fishing boat numbers are 300 today, with a total of 1200 fisherman.
