Wednesday 31st

Here we are. The family and friends of the skipper are arriving in Bahia, some after 24 hours of travel (us amongst them!). Everybody had to fly before, because we didn't thaught that the 2nd leg would be so short.The horse's latitude were a non-event!

The winner of the 2nd leg is : Yannick Bestaven. Well done for him because everybody was waiting for Brian who was first for a long time. The two skippers took a different course during the last nigth (near the coast and further away) and it is a amazed Yannick who won. He is like that the winner of the 2 legs and this is a premiere in the story of the Mini.

Simon Curwen his also recompendated with his stability and arrives 2nd at the general. Then there is Arnaud de Boissières in 3rd position, Samuel Manuard and Yves Le Blevec.

Others were deemed to arrive during the nigth and we will give you the names as soon as we get them.

And what about Hervé? He was yesterday still in 9th position. His arrival is fixed for Thursday nigth but we can never be sure with sailing. There is still a possibility to loose or take some places in the ranking. But with the nice 5th place he did in the first leg, he should finish quite well at the general.
