Continuing to move SE at good speeds Mike Golding has increased his lead over his Swiss rival Dominique Wavre to 85 miles.
Golding has slowed slightly this morning but has been consistently quicker than Wavre over the last 24 hours but appears to be moving into better wind pressure than the boats which are lined up behind his course, Wavre’s Mirabaud and Javier Sanso’s Acciona 100% Eco Powered. The Spanish boat is 140 miles behind which means that Golding has also opened some 10 more miles on Sanso.
Next gate for Mike is the final one of the course, Pacific East, which is 915 miles ahead with Cape Horn and the departure from the Pacific at 2200 miles or about 5 ½ days away.
