The Volvo Ocean Race crews are off to Galway after an Exilarating start this afternoon. The boats made a lap around Boston Harbor and slingshoted off into the mist. After a short postponement the last open ocean leg of the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-09 got underway today, starting right off the race village at Fan Pier, Downtown Boston. The Challenge and Adventure Team was out on the race course for the start.
