Shuten to finish today

Please consult The Around Alone Report Users Guide for an explanation of this report. 

Shuten Dojhi is expected to finish by 1200 eastern time.

Fleet Round Up:

Shuten Dojhi II lies 36 miles  from the finish.  Shuten is expected to finish Saturday. 

Paladin 2 comes next 310 miles   from the finish.  Neil reports: "Everything is going well. Yesterday and last night was probably the best days sailing so far on this leg. Calm seas, sunshine, moon, stars, and a gentle breeze with a good dose of current assistance."

What does it all mean ?

With Shuten's finish for the first time Neil Hunter will not be a boat.  Still, Neil will be 3/4 of the way to an Around Alone finish something few have acheived.

Please see Torresen Sailing Site's coverage of Playstations 24 hour record attempt.
