Looking at the tracking map I see Isobelle and Sam are still underway heading for home although "hors course"...

They should come in before the official tail end Charlie presently Ari..

Not forgetting the remaining Briton, Miranda Merron, who is between the Canaries and the Azores.

I thought I’d have a sneaky look at it last night about 11 & then save it to watch today. So much for the sneaky look...I couldn’t stop watching. Thanks for posting.

A wonderful way to spend 52 minutes. It really is a “must watch” for anyone with even a passing interest in racing boats.

An unbelievable achievement for all competitors. Some incredible shots of huge seas in the Southern Ocean with the boats barrelling along at phenomenal speeds.
