Paladin drifts to Punta

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

Paladin 2 is the last official boat on the course. Her finish will not occur until at least tommorow.

Fleet Round Up:

Paladin 2 is 152 miles out of Punta. Unfortunatly for Neil and Paladin after many thousands of miles the wind has gone light. Reported winds near Paladin are only 4 knots. Due to this Paladin is sailing at only 1.9 knots. No consisten breeze is expected, just lots of drifting with the occasional squall.

What does it all mean ?

With the light wind, perhaps Neil Hunter wishes for a drama inducing storm to get him to Punta Del Este.
