Onboard PUMA Ocean Racings Mar Mostro, Jonathan Swain confers with the team doctor after reducing new cremember Thomas Johanson's dislocated shoulder.

The departure from Auckland for Leg 5 of the Volvo Ocean Race broke bodies and boats. But that carnage paled in comparison to the drama that is taking place onshore, and what's coming a little further down the Southern Ocean road.

Groupama Sailing Team has displayed poise, skill, and intelligence in Leg 4 of the 2011-12 Volvo Ocean Race. Their reward will be a first-place finish in Auckland.

Rob Salthouse and Chris Nicholson grind hard putting a reef in the mainsail as Stu Bannatyne drives onboard CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand during Leg 3 of the Volvo Ocean Race.

As the Volvo Ocean Race fleet recuperates in Sanya, China, we ponder whether Puma Ocean Racing can make a comeback, whether Telefonica will falter, and whether Team Sanya will even finish.

Puma Ocean Racing trails Camper/ ETNZ at the finish of Leg 2, headed into Abu Dhabi.
