It was long and we learned lots, Artemis duo sail in to tenth
A difficult race for Sam Davies and Sidney Gavignet on a powerful boat which has still got to be proved, but they say they have few regrets, and certainly not taking the southern route.

Meteo
Meteo from Sunday 22nd
Sunday 22: A relatively stationary storm low pressure trough over the Gulf of Panama produces Easterly winds of 25 to 30 knots off the Columbian Coast whereas the winds are a little more stable in the east out towards the West Indies, closer to 15-20 knots. The two leaders will have to pass to the north of the depression to keep their speed, sailing more miles but that should enable them to keep their speeds up and avoid the softer winds on the southern route.
For those approaching the West Indies the trade winds remain at about 15-20 knots; they will need to make a longer starboard tack to make a long, more southerly course across the Caribbean.
