Good morning with a beautiful pink sunrise from Coles Bay.
We just had a long conversation with Gareth and Karl from Peccadillo who unfortunately got back to find their boat still moored out in the bay. "we're going to have some food and a sleep but first we're going to shout at our sailors," they said, after attracting the big cat by yelling and flashing their head torches.
They were extremely happy to find they had posted the second-fastest run of the day, six hours 12 minutes, to finish at 5.46am. Gareth said he wanted to come back and run it again in the daylight to see how beautiful it was.
Aub and Doug from Don't Panic ran 4hrs 46 (race record is 4.10) so another fantastic run guys - looks like they'll be a shoe-in for king of the mountain.
Gareth said: "they passed us on a bit that we thought was un-runnable, it was so steep, but they were just flying down."
VisitFlinders' John and John got back at 4.37am, a good run of 6 hours 22 minutes.
Community Carbon's Stuart and Travis reached the top at 4.57am.
Wildfire is almost here with a little puff of new breeze and Carey Hire is not far behind. Maybe another half an hour? Five yacht are visible from race control, either coming or going.
