Fresh Water Ahead As Volvo Ocean Race And Bluewater Sail Into Newport, Rhode Island
Rhode Islanders are welcoming the Volvo Ocean Race for a three week stop-over sailing extravaganza in Newport from May 8 – 20 as part of the round-the-world race, billed as the ‘Everest’ of yacht racing. Visitors to the Race Village also get to try free drinking water as pure as nature intended from Sweden's Bluewater, which is on a global mission to remove the need for single-use plastic bottles.
