Round the World Yacht Race arrives in Seattle

Sailboats in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race and other vessels sail in view of a Washington state ferry during a two-lap, short course race in Elliott Bay Sunday, April 29, 2018, in Seattle. The 11 yachts, which departed Liverpool, England, about nine months ago, departed Seattle on Sunday, for the next of eight legs. The 40,000 nautical miles journey ends in Derry-Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The Clipper race, started in 1996, groups amateur sailors with skippers for an 11-month endurance race through the world's oceans. [Photo: AP/ Elaine Thompson]
