In the latest update (1840 UTC) ADOR is 255 miles from the finish line in Cape Town. They’ve gybed to put themselves directly in front of Dongfeng, who have closed to within 3.3 miles.
You could see the strain in Ian Walker’s face in that interview he did with Ken Read yesterday, and you can see it even more here. I don’t think he’s getting much sleep. Nor does it sound like he’s planning on getting any tonight.
They’ve sailed more than 6,000 miles over the past 24 days. Now it’s a buoy race to the finish.
