As many of you posted, it has been a strange leg, with a very
close finish and well done, Gadget for getting passed Penquin.
Poor day aboard LK - been out all day and wow, to drop +6000
places was a shock.
Penquin, have a great summer and we've really enjoyed having you
with us and I hope to see you back later in the year.

Wow D2. I didn't even see you coming. I guess just staying in
stronger wind and a better angle worked out great. I admit I
just plotted waypoints for the shortest route home and went to
sleep. A real surprise this morning to find you finished ahead
by 2 whole minutes. Very well done.

Quite a close finish after 7000 miles! The whole, fleet seemed
well bunched in the end - IG was only 12 miles behind the
winner, but more than 2500 places. Thanks everybody for another
good race, and especially Em for doing the maths.
Now, what’s going on in the other ocean?
