All Change
Overnight, ABN AMRO TWO (Sebastien Josse) has worked his young team in to second place, pushing Pirates of the Caribbean (Paul Cayard) into third. The fleet is 168 nautical miles east of the Falkland Islands and 550 nautical miles from the Argentinean coast. As predicted, the boats have closed together and now only 48 nautical miles separates first to fifth position.
Leader Mike Sanderson is frustrated. Time and time again he has seen his substantial lead eaten away by the back runners, and, once again, as history repeats itself, it is ABN AMRO TWO who is threatening his lead. “Just amazing that you can be 200 odd miles behind as was the case with the Kids on ABN AMRO TWO or the Brazilians, but probably more frustrating even still is the fact that Ericsson has worked their way back into this race.”
Movistar has arrived in Ushuaia, after being escorted all the way by the Chilean navy. The team will now lift the boat out of the water to inspect the damage.
