After 3000 miles of racing, Clay Burkhalter has moved into 10th position in the 2007 Mini Transat Race. The 83 boat fleet is spread over a 400 mile range and is now literally in the middle of the Atlantic midway between Africa and South America. Sailing in his custom Rod Johnstone designed 21 foot "mini," Clay has managed to move steadily closer to the lead pack over the last week and now it's card shuffling time as the fleet crosses the convergence zone and then settles in for the final 1,200 mile "sprint" to Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. You can follow Clay's and the rest of the fleet's progress at the Team Acadia website. There are three positional updates daily.Thursday, October 18, 2007
