PlayStation passed the waypoint at Inishtearaght at around 1200 GMT today, and will be reaching Fastnet between 1500-1800 GMT – and Bishop Rock (Scilly Isles) later tonight.

According to Luc Trullemans the Chief Meteorologist, in Belgium this morning, the overall weather situation is for the wind to decrease overnight to 10-12 knots or even less by the morning. However, a new low is expected later Thursday – bringing Force 5 (15-20 kts) from the south – increasing through the day to Force 6 or even force 7. This being the case, Team PlayStation should arrive back in Ramsgate late Thursday evening/early Friday morning.

To beat the record currently held by Maiden 2, PlayStation has to cross the finish line 0842 GMT on Friday morning.
