Medtem ko so bili tik pred ciljem še skupaj s četverico, ki je na cilj prišla včeraj okrog desetih zvečer, so se Brossard, CA Skipper Challenge in obe Adrii Mobil parkirali v bonaci in na cilj prišli v zgodnjih jutranjih urah. Andraž in Jaka šesta, Kristian in Luka pa petnajst minut za njima osma. Andraž je povedal, da je bila to ena natežjih preizkušenj, tako za živce, kot za telo, saj se niso borili le s pomanjkanjem vetra in močnimi protitokovi, temveč tudi z morsko travo, ki je navita okrog kobilic skrbela še za težje napredovanje. Zaostanki za vodilno skupino so že kar precejšnji, tako da je realna končna skupna uvrstitev za slovenski posadki okoli petega mesta.

After seven hours of calm - finally the end
Both Slovenian teams have crossed the finish line of leg two. After being in touch with the leading group (who finished leg two yestereday at approximately 21.00) right up to the end, a group of several boats have parked themselvs in a calm for over six hours and crossed the finish line in the early hours of the morning. Andraž and Jaka finished sixth and Kristian nad Luka fifteen minutes after that eight. Andraž told us, that this was one of the most demanding experiences. Leg two not only lasted longer than predicted, but in a windless Atlantic ocean, facing strong currents, fighting sea grass on the canting keels, it was trully nerve wracking. The time gaps are now getting bigger and bigger and realisticly Adria Mobil 509 and 510 have chances for fifth position in overall end results.
