Have you ever wondered what it must be like to be an onboard reporter (OBR) in The Ocean Race? Offwatch chats to James Blake about his experience as a floating OBR for the teams, and what it takes to have the responsibility of documenting an ocean race that circumvents the world. James explains the challenges of building relationships with the sailors especially when moving between teams, maintaining objectivity in every situation – good or bad – and how to do the best storytelling in extreme conditions.
