Volvo Race Leg 2 Starts Sunday

By Tim Henry | November 3, 2017 | Lisbon, Portugal |

Leg 2 of the Volvo Ocean Race starts on Sunday, November 5 in Lisbon, Portugal (at 1400, Lisbon time, which is 7 a.m. California time . . . but Sunday will also be the end of Daylight Saving Time, so good luck figuring it out).

Lisbon is an especially scenic venue to run a leg of the Volvo Ocean Race from.
