POTC cast takes to the high seas

Johnny Depp, Keira Knightly, and Orlando Bloom are to participate in a round the world race to promote “Pirates of the Caribbean 2.”

The trio of Hollywood actors – whose fictional sailing skills delighted millions of cinema-goers in the 2003 movie – will take turns lending their assistance to the qualified yachtsmen and women in the grueling eight-month Volvo Ocean Race.

The BLACK PEARL vessel – named after the ship in the blockbuster film – will first welcome British beauty Knightley on board for the European stretch of the contest.

Bloom will take-over for South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, while Depp will be joining the Black Pearl team ahead of their return to the US.
