Nice to see a big crowd cheering for Abu Dhabi that late in the evening (nearly 1 AM in Lisbon)

Dont they have the same time in Portugal as in the UK? Then it would be just before 12, which is not that late for southern europe, they came just back from dinner .

It's nearly midnight in Lisbon (on daylight savings time), but a neat welcome indeed!

 

[Dixie]

Anyone else have tracker failure?

 

[FinnFish]

Sometimes it's just too hard to support Camper.

Is it Botin or the tactics..................

My bad, I thought they were on the same time zone as Spain...

And while we talk, Tele is now half a mile ahead of Camper

 

[couchsurfer]

...Sonya's gonna try the 'great circle' route ,,going 3x the speed of th'others :blink:

...closing on 3 miles.......

 

[dlangpap]

Wow, Camper can't seem to keep Telephone behind...

 

[jwaldron]

After a late charge, Sanya has finally hit the wall, about 3.5 NM behind Camper. GA4 has moved clearly ahead of Camper, but in these conditions, has no lock on the position. Puma has run out on the s*** fight behind. My dinner has gotten cold, I think. Too wrapped up to go check on it.

 

[Kenny Dumas]

Sanya only 3 back. Best flyer would be the great circle around to the south, better pressure and current relief maybe?

 

[DtM]

Puma is safe from those behind.

By my measurements Tele is .4 of a mile ahead of Camper and is very very slowly stretching that lead.

 

[dlangpap]

Yep, even when unlucky, Telephone is lucky...

 

[couchsurfer]

Sanya only 3 back. Best flyer would be the great circle around to the south, better pressure and current relief maybe?

...as long as they keep speeding 2-3x the others,,this'll be fun

...darn

Cant we have a live comment from Dalton? That would be enteraining. He must be furious.

 

[DtM]

Sanya with a touch of the slows now. Pity

 

[FinnFish]

'Livestream' yeah right!

 

[dlangpap]

This type of finish is unfair. It's the ocean leg that should be rewarded as that's where most of the race is done. For these lottery types of finishes, we have the inshore races, for the offshore legs, the finish line should be set further offshore.

 

[couchsurfer]

Sanya with a touch of the slows now. Pity

...mannn,if they had someone watching th'tracker <_<

..they sailed straight into th'hole--OBLIVIOUS :blink:

.....congrats Pooma-finishing soon

,,,methinks the remainder will be awhile,,especially once someone 'pulls th'plug' in Lisbon

 

[vtsail]

Camper 5 knots faster than tele...
