If he can make it to th finish line he should be fine, the nearest guy is about 900 miles behind. Its just a case of whether Mike can nurse the boat back safely. The weather seems settled so he might be in with a chance if he can keep the boat going on a windward direction in the light airs.

"if he can make it to the finish line"....that's all he needs! but yep, at a few knots he is 10 hours from a finish, next along is 100 hours back
