Ah, to be sure I did!

Looks like Team Jersey have a repeat of yesterday with a long slow haul to land on one engine. Looks like they're heading for Wexford.

It is disappointment for Italian Fabio Buzzi aboard Red FPT in the 2008 Round Britain Race. Despite being among the leaders at the start of the third leg from Milford Haven to Bangor NI this morning (Monday), he has since suffered problems and been force retired.
Meanwhile his teammate, the Greek entered Blue FPT driven by Vassilis Pateras and Panos Tsikopoulos, was leading the event at 1.45pm

OK, the tracker has updated and FPT Blue is past Dublin, but Mr Mako seems to have a clear lead . . .

Yes - that's been consistently reported all morning via MarineTrack and last updated at 13:05 GMT - so likely to be accurate.

So, presumably Mr Mako is beyond the horizon from the 'copter?

Do you reckon that someone gets an email every time Marinetrack spews out an error message? If so, I reckon there's a good chance we'll crash their mail server!

I'm finding this very exciting, but then I have a very good 'net connection here at work.

Assuming they all started at the same time, it looks like Jamie Edwards John Lindsay in Mr Mako have won with a huge lead.
