Sailing: Uruguay Natural's homecoming

A huge welcome, including a visit from President Luis Alberto Lacalle, was being prepared for Uruguay Natural, which was due in yesterday at the end of the first leg of the Whitbread Round the World Race, writes Stuart Alexander from Punta del Este, Uruguay. Also due was the Ukrainian 60, Hetman Sahaidachny, which was almost out of freeze-dried food, leaving only the other Ukrainian 60, Odessa, which started a week late, on the course.
