Vendee Globe: Samantha Davies

The Vendee Globe fleet is in the Southern Ocean now, racing at the bottom of the world, in large wind and waves, aiming toward Australia, New Zealand and then onward to Cape Horn. Samantha Davies is one of two women racing the Vendee Globe (we have posted some of Dee Caffari's (the other woman competitor) informative videos on this blog). Samantha is very telegenic, a bubbly personality on video that masks how tough she needs to be to race these 60 foot behemoths singlehanded.
