Vendee Globe - Go Tommo!

[Flying Phil]

Separation still increasing, but to be so close after such a race......

Windy tracker is predicting around a 10 hour gap between Armel and Alex... amazing after 76 days of racing.

Disappointed for Alex, but Armel has sailed very well, and given he's finished 2nd last 2 events, I'm really happy for him.

Safe return for all those still out there - still a few who are still in the Pacific and have a few weeks still to go.

Epic race, amazing seamanship.

Hope everyone out there stays safe.

Well done Armel. Unlucky Alex. Epic effort from all the sailors. Some still have a fair way to go. Stay safe!

'Twas a good race - finishing at the same time (and trackable also) was another exciting race up the Pennines, this time won by a Brit after chasing down a Spaniard and Czech for the past 99 hours... A good dot watching few days.(http://www.grough.co.uk/magazine/2017/01/19/tom-hollins-wins-spine-race-after-overtaking-two-front-runners#)

I was doing the same as well as catching up on some friends here www.spear17.org Not much work done today I'm afraid.

Well Tommo has finished 2nd this morning - Very well done!

[Chris Stott]

Just watched AT's post finish press conference. Very humble. Great interview.

A modest but enthusiastic crowd welcomed Thomson home to a rather grey Gosport this morning.
