At 7:01 GMT Paprec Virbac 2 was first thru the scoring gate at the Canary Islands. They continue to be followed by PRB. PV's J.P. Dick says, "‘There are some nice smells from the land to let us know we have arrived at the gate at Bahia."
However the 3rd thru 6th place boats are having the better day. Veoila is in 3rd and has done 184 miles in 24 hours, follwed by Delta Dore also 184, Hugo Boss 190 and Estrella Damm 193.
Veoila's Roland Jourdain is optimistic, "After the Canaries, the head of the fleet should slow down..and we could have a chance to catch up."
Fleet best 24 hour distnace was Temenos 2 at 202 miles and 7th place.
Past the Canaries the situation will remain atypical Sidney Gavignet says, "After Canaries the situation is still not looking normal. We should be sailing under spinnaker when we get there but we will be actually sailing into the wind."
