Volvo Ocean Race restart

Just in case anyone was planning to get up early to watch the Volvo Ocean Race Cochin to Qingdao leg start on http://volvooceanrace.tv on Saturday morning, they've issued an amendment to the Sailing Instructions moving the first gun from 13:50 to 15:20 local time, which if I've got my timezones right makes the new warning signal 09:50 GMT. No sure yet if this also applies to the Virtual race as well.
