Approaching the Finish Line

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston was yesterday (Thursday 3 May) at 10:20 UTC, 140 miles from the Leg 3 finish line, 50 miles off the north coast of Spain, position poll shows.

Unai Basurko is in fourth place, 171 miles behind. Sir Robin's ETA to cross the finish line is currently 02:00 UTC on Friday morning. He will arrive into Bilbao in daylight. Unai Basurko feels like he is spiritually closer to home and he is now sailing in familiar waters. He will be into Bilbao in the early hours of Saturday morning. Yesterday he made radio contact with the marine radio at Cape Finisterre and they have warned him that he is sailing into some busy waterways. In overall elapsed time Basurko leads Knox Johnston by 1 day 16 hours.
