Received this heads-up from a sailing friend today:
Above the water, the team needs to make the trimaran as visible as possible while under the water they need to fend of rubber-fetish fish!
And then they say crossing the Atlantic is boring :)

ITCZ: Intertropical Convergence Zone
Definition: The belt of low pressure girdling the Earth, near the equator, where the trade winds of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres come together. It is formed by the vertical ascent of warm, moist air from the latitudes above and below the equator.

I've just had a few emails from people sailing to Brazil, absolutely no wind in the ITCZ and they have had to motor for 5 days, not possible for the Russians. if we know there track it may well be worth putting out a notice to mariners to keep an eye out for them, ships wont see them on radar and they wont be able to get out the way.
