Wow tom fab blog. The competition is really on now there are only two. I do really feel for the 'doing time' team, as if they and their friends and family have been through all the mixture of emotions and dedication that us and the boys have experienced having to make the decision to retire must have been a real struggle. Glad they are safe though. Now with the boys having such a fab support crew and immense following lets hope this gives them the push to succeed. I can only imagine that that lovely white cabin not longer appears so angelic!!!!!!!!!!

Right so we are at day 11... enough with all this schmaltzy bullsh*t. Second place is the first loser - so pull your fingers out and get rowing.... Hugs and kisses Chris & Sarah (The kisses are from Chris not Sarah)

Boys, you are doing AMAZINGLY. It's so exciting following your progress. Hope the sores/swellings are bearing up okay, and even if they aren't, who cares, Ferkins is flying! In other news, I have a question for you. Rob at The Resident wants to know what species of shark you're spotting?? The people of Horsham want answers... xxx

Tom thanks for the great updates. Fly fly fly Ferkins! Fantastic last few days - doldrums left well behind and sharks stunned at how fast you can get away from them!

Yes it must be the toughest thing in the world to have to retire after all that preparation and effort to get there! Just read the report on Old Mutual....makes you realise what the boys are dealing with. They are doing such a great job.....and they must know they can realise there dream. All they need is a little good fortune and a load of will power and I know they have the latter! Go for it!

That Blxxxx current!!!...what a thing. Hope you get out of its grips soon. Special message from Sarah, to say that she is now at 99degrees E. She's working hard and going well. She also says PLEASE can you let her know your iridium No so she can talk to you. As I don't really want to publish my email address for one and all to see...maybe one of your team could contact me....they would have my email from when I logged on to your site. Helen (Sarah's Mum) PS ...you've got to fly now there are only two pairs left!!!!

Superb progress in last 24, you seem to be motoring now, maybe you've shed a few pounds of amber necter which was weighing you down at the start !!! Closing down on the Southern Cross boys and maybe Old Mutuals's outboard engine is running low on fumes !!! Surely he can just be rowing ???? It will be such an amazing feeling when you get the actual in your sight, only surpassed when you pass them and leave them for dust... Mike

Helen - got the message loud and clear. Please tell Sarah. x Just keep waking up each day (and through out the night eh Kathryn) thinking about you lads on the ocean. Total admiration. Sedgly/Jeremy - nice work. Tom
