Phil and Terry are through the passage and making their way to Coles Bay - extremely slowly due to the fact that there is literally no wind. The water is glassy. The only action to be found is at the jetty, where merchandise selling and food and drink is getting under way. Committee and media are heading to sea in a luxury motor boat to check on the fleet's progress.
Terry is about two nautical miles behind Phil, and Tas Marine Constructions in third is yet to enter Schouten Passage. BWR Multihulls is close behind them and the remainder of the fleet is strung out off the coast of the Freycinet Peninsula.
