Cape Town to Goodwood Day 32: 15 days to go?

According to www.capetowntogoodwood.com, Tracey and the "Spirit of Artemis" are due to arrive back in England  in 15 days time - that's Wednesday December 18. So far they have flown 5,387 nautical mile and spent 68.3 hours in the air. 
Whether they make this target will depend a lot on the next week -  after Egypt come Libya and Tunisia.
This is how Mary Heath did it:
