Fremantle to Exmouth Ocean Race - Exmouth leaders becalmed

Indian and Enterprise NG, the two leaders in Fremantle Sailing Club's Fremantle to Exmouth Race and Rally, lay becalmed off Coral Bay this evening, having covered 600 nautical miles of the 700 mile course.
Indian's performance last night and this morning was exceptional, converting a 6 mile lead yesterday into a 30 mile lead today, but even Indian could not maintain her speed as the breeze slowly died this afternoon.
Mark Nagle's team on Weapon of Choice, some 90 miles back from the leader, may have been smiling as they started to close the massive gap in steady breeze.
