Mike and the crew. You are nearly halfway there lads. Well done! You have done a good mileage today. Have some good strong easterly winds started to blow you along at last? The children at school are following your progress and working out if you will achieve your goal! I tried to answer their questions today about life on board. The boys quite like the idea of limited amount of washing and being able to fish. They were quite concerned about where you went to bed and where the toilet was. Also, they wanted to know how you got back home and thought you must row back as well!!!! (Now, now Simon - that was not a suggestion for your next challenge!! ) Looks like you might have to do a school assembly Mike! Now enough of sitting around reading e-mails and get back on those oars! Celebrate halfway with a second energy bar! love Mum and Dad Martin
Ben & crew. The second half is all downhill - record within your grasp. Don't let the odd sore bum/hands/etc. stop you. Keep on Rowing! Grandad
