Wind slowly dropping, now. The last 15 miles are going to be long. @dongfengracing

[VO65 DONGFENG @VO65_DONGFENG]

Tacking a bit late for @dongfengracing. @desafiomapfre is now in a dangerous position for us. @volvooceanrace

Getting closer to the straight of Skagen. 04:00 local time and the day is almost there! @dongfengracing

[VO65 DONGFENG @VO65_DONGFENG]

Night falling. 100 miles to finish this last leg of the @Volvooceanrace. @DongfengRacing

[VO65 DONGFENG @VO65_DONGFENG]

Still close to the other boats, but in a much more steady wind, now. @DongfengRacing @volvooceanrace

[VO65 DONGFENG @VO65_DONGFENG]

Tacking battle along the coast of Jutland. @dongfengracing

[VO65 DONGFENG @VO65_DONGFENG]

J1 up for @desafiomapfre
@dongfengracing

[VO65 DONGFENG @VO65_DONGFENG]

@desafiomapfre just to leeward of us still under MH0. Their bowman preparing J1 @dongfengracing

[VO65 DONGFENG @VO65_DONGFENG]

Hoisting j1, furling and tacking! @dongfengracing

[VO65 DONGFENG @VO65_DONGFENG]

Getting J1 ready. @brunelsailing did a good starboard tack, and is clearly ahead of us now. @dongfengracing

[VO65 DONGFENG @VO65_DONGFENG]

We cross just behind @brunelsailing. Wind is building up slowly. Not far from peeling to J1 @dongfengracing

[VO65 DONGFENG @VO65_DONGFENG]

We expect a right shift so we tack now #dfrt

[VO65 DONGFENG @VO65_DONGFENG]

We are getting a bit of wind before the two boats behind. Nice, at least. @dongfengracing
