Proud dads from Leg 1 winners Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing greet their families dockside in Cape Town.
ADOR crossed the line around 1511 UTC, with Dongfeng following in second place around 1524. Brunel should be finishing third within the next few hours.
Watching the finish live on the Volvo Ocean Race YouTube channel was fun. There were some technical hiccups, but overall it worked pretty well, with OBRs Matt Knighton on ADOR and Yann Riou on Dongfeng doing a good job of shooting video, answering questions, and trying to stay out of the way.
Then there was live video of the dockside arrivals, for which I’m (as previously mentioned) a complete sucker.
Things are pretty well spread out for the remaining four boats. SCA has closed up somewhat on Mapfre, but unless something dramatic happens it doesn’t look like there will be any position changes, with SCA finishing late tomorrow (Thursday), UTC-wise.
