Just 124.1 miles behine the leader!
He also has a stronger main halyard so <hopefully> that won't give any more problems.

he's also further east so upwind.
ellen on the other hand has lost her lead. crawling along at only 9 knots in a F3. must be dreadful! i suppose she can get a bit of kip now!

He's doing a brilliant job! I can quite imagine the 3 of them crossing the line very close together which after 26000 miles is incredible.
Poor Ellen is being dealt an awful hand but she has a very fast boat and if she can emerge from these conditions without too big a deficit she will still be in with a great chance.
Whatever the outcome, she has put in a performance to be proud of. One hell of a sailor.

there was a day, befroe he took the lead, when he just ripped up 100 miles behind them - so yes, i reckon golding in with a great chance.
ellen job bit harder: she is not in the same wind as joyon, and has less time in which to catch up i think...
