Dedication
Performed by Roy Castle.
Dedication, dedication
Dedication, that's what you need
If you wanna be the best
If you wanna beat the rest
Oh-oh dedication's what you need;
If you wanna be a record break-er, Oooooh.
Keep going - Loving all your work! Mags Healy, Sydney
Hi George, have just got back from NZ and am glad to see that you are making good progress - looking at the chart you appear to be slap bang in the middle, I read that you have been having some problems with a weather system so I hope that improves! Keep going mate! Alistair Clarke
Best wishes to all the crew, especially to Mike who I know from his early days in Triathlon at Thames Turbo. Go for it Mike, you are on an amazing journey and I know you can do it.
Best regards to you, your crew and all your support team (and your very proud Dad!). Best wishes, Pete Dickason - former Coach at Thames Turbo Triathlon Club
Hi Mike & fellow crazies, it was great to read you are doing so well, the record has to be yours. Good to see you are keeping up with your swimming; I presume it was you who swam after the rudder as well as fixing it back in place? Everything is well in Bath, feeling reasonably fit so starting to increase the mileage, well, what a normal person would call mileage anyway.....doesn't seem to have the same meaning anymore. All the best, Tom Room
Ben & Crew - keep going lads, problems are there to be overcome and so far you are doing fine. I hope that conditions improve in your favour with a bit of luck you will find the best route and with no more sore bums you will be able to make good progress. All the best from Gran & Grandad Thackwray
Ahoy Benjamin & Shipmates. Glad to hear the repairs are holding up & George's "bits" are healing. See you've spotted a shark and trust you were in the boat at the time. Ben, I saw your neighbours Rita & Alan today, they send their Best Wishes and are following your progress as are Graham and Moira. Remember, go steady! Love Mum & Dad
