I wouldn't think gaining places is very meaningful this early.

I have headed south from the outset in order to try and sail the shortest route. At present it is not paying off!

I'm sailing my own race. But I agree some will be shadowing INC LLC, Aldabra and Ariadna.

The only thing that IS usefull about the place counter is it's showing that MOST people are South/ west of me (Which may be good or bad, my current thinking is good). I dumped around 70K Places to get where I wanted to be so it is good to see I am getting SOME back at present.

IF I was sailing southeast and still loosing places I would know I had screwed the leg up at this point. I agree the placeing at this point has no bearing (yet) on final positions as we are so well spaced out; but it does give an indication of what I was expecting to happen is happening:

1, Going east was a bit of a corner to bang and I expected to loose loads of Places
2, Now dropping back SE is gaining back some. (as expected)
3, Nothing is certain until we are in Rio
4, I Still have to cross the doldrums....
