Kingfisher is now just moments away from arriving in Ocean Village to a rapturous reception from the thousands that have gathered to welcome her

Ellen MacArthur is now within moments of Ocean Village. Since word broke of Ellen’s arrival here on ybw.com, an armada of spectator boats has crowded around Kingfisher as she carries Britain’s very own pocket rocket back home.

Having just passed Dockhead, Ellen should be alongside within minutes, soaking up the applause from the thousands of well-wishers and fans gathered at Ocean Village. Keep it here.
