Thanks Dennis, I've been following the daily briefings on YouTube and enjoying the video from many of the skippers. Boris Herrman has the best videos and is now catching up to the lead boats. So many stories to follow. I wish they would include Sam Davies in the tracking. She's disqualified for her Cape Town stopover but restarted after major repairs and has now passed a few of the straggling boats already. Her spouse, Athanasio is racing on another boat and is rounding Cape Horn today. Jeramie Beyou, the guy who returned to France for repairs and restarted days later, has made it to mid fleet and may be in contention for the podeum. Amazing sailing. It's interesting to see how they route their boats around weather to find the most favorable wind and waves. Great coverage.
