They are flying - almost back in the atlantic!!!! Then they need to get luckyto keep this lead.
Ignore the Jules Verne track as that is meaningless - there is only one record to chase and that is Steve Fossetts.

	But look at Ellen's return back up the atlantic. She was several days ahead at Cape Horn, she then lost that lead by the equator. The lead at the finish is likely to be less than 2 days. Also Geronimo was well ahead of Cheyenne's record for some of the time in the early stages but they then ended up only just beating Jules Verne record and not the outright record. So Orange 2's lead is pretty meaningless at this stage.

	Are they flying or what?! 1200 miles or three days up after less than two week, I know there is a long way to go still, but you have to think that Fosset's record isn't going to stand for much longer!
