Fleet Round Up:
Balance Bar is 188 miles from the finish. Sailing at a fleet high 6.1 knots Brad Van Liew expects to finish tommorow afternoon.
www.no-barriers.com is 309 miles from Charleston. Neal Petersen: "The wind finally did come in. Progressing well, but not fast enough for Sunday arrival. Looks like Monday if the forecast and conditions hold true."
Shuten Dojhi II shows 607 miles from a finish which is estimated to occur next Thursday. Shuten Dojhi reports a speed of .9 knots slowest in the fleet.
Paladin 2 is 739 miles from the finish. Paladin 2 is up to 4.3 knots. Paladin2's ETA is 28 May.
