Update from Amory, 21:20 GMT:
LAAAAANNNNDDDD HOOOOO!!! 5 miles to the first point, 12 to the finish, and this’ll be the final report from Leg 7… FO SHO. It’s been a heck of a day but the end is in sight and there’s a lot to be happy about. No, things didn’t go as well as they could have—we made our share of mistakes and didn’t get the better part of lady luck—but we did a lot of things really well, including staying poised and patient today and over the last 500 miles. So now, ripping into Lisbon at 22 knots, the city lights illuminating the sky in the distance, we have much to look forward to (besides a few days off). We are not out of this race, not by a longshot, and everyone will be eager to get back out on the racecourse and make up some more ground on the leaders. But first, a finish line to cross—10 miles away now! Have a great night everyone, from all of us onboard PUMA’s Mar Mostro, and thanks for all of your support over the last 11 days. As always, very much appreciated!
Amo out.
