Happy weekend everyone! I’m Rowdy Gaines reporting live on the Great Turtle Race!

Backspacer spun around, and then buzzed past Trinidad and Tobago and Grenada, but she still won’t cross the finish line! We’ve seen these turtles do some unexpected things in the Race so far, but what is up with Backspacer?

Speaking of spinning, Nueva Esperanza twirled in place and is now pointed toward the west, as is Seabiscuit. Estéban is really moving toward the finish line now.

Cali is now near the coast of the U.S. It looks like he might even be heading back to Canada!

We’re certainly in for an exciting finish to the Race!
