Guy, In awe of you guys...3 weeks. Keeping a close track of you and still on the fundraising trail...getting some nibbles now the markets making everyone feel a little wealthier, so make sure you keep it up....and don't spend the entire day talking about girls (i won't be convinced thats not the main topic of conversation whatever you say)...you've got a race to win. Your cousin, Mark.

Chris and Sarah's thought for the day..... 'There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing' Sir Ranulph Fiennes hugs and nipple tweaks. xx

been away for a week without computer so great to get back online and get the daily dose to see that you are both well and still going strong, superb that we are at the 3 weeks mark and you are still in touch with those southern cross kid's !!! ...only a matter of time i'm sure !!! Tell me, if you could substitue each other for 1 day, who would you have in the boat, the choice is yours anyone in life past or present ! Careful...others are reading !!!! Mike

Hey Mike this could be interesting maybe you shouldn't have!! Tx

Aloha chefs Glad things are going well. I am watching discovery channel programs about fishing in a vague attempt to understand all things seaworthy. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Kx

Hi there you two! you are making amazing progress, and your tracker was not even updated this morning. So put your head down and row like mad. Roger (who you met in Dongara) rang me last night and will register for your blog, and will give you some news from Geraldton. Roger and his wife are following your tracker religiously everyday. Guy, I will have an hamburger for you tonight(good excuse for me to have one), and I will make sure that Marcel gets one ready for you when you reach Mauritius. Hope that the weather is good to you soon! Do you get lots of waves that enable you to surf???

Distance behind SC; Sun - 108 Mon - 92 Tues - 79 Weds - 69 The trend continues... 24 hr speed - SC 24 hours - 1.73kn, FF 2kn - generally 20% quicker since sunday, not that it's a race or anything New tracker is on board as of yesterday, but not updating yet, we'll see how that goes, it may need resetting Jem

Yes boys! Mow them down!! You've already got the solo guy. Have it. j

Row row row that boat gently down the stream...and get SC guys!! There's a bag of Haribo in it for you!! x

Hi Guys, Sorry not to have logged on before – no excuses other than we were waiting for a password. We have been watching your progress everyday and admire your guts and will power. You really are doing extremely well and wish you success in your bid for a world record. Guy, I (Trish) just remember the day your mother told me she was pregnant, when we were standing waiting for Tom & Chris to come out of Heron Way. Little did she know what you would put her through!! Keep up your efforts and just think of the home coming and rewards at the end of it. Very best wishes from Trish & Roger.

C'mon Ferkins, you are flying now! Reel them in and pass them by. Attention at home starting to turn from football towards cricket. United play tonight and may win the league by Saturday. England won the 1st test against the W.Indies and the countdown is on for the Ashes (I've got a ticket, ner ner ner ner ner!). C'mon United. C'mon England. C'mon Ferkins! Planning on doing 2K on the ergo in your honour this morning (waaaa haaaa). Keep doing what you are doing....it's amazing. Trumpet and Alister xx xx

P.s. Just read Trish's post. I remember the day Tom said he was pregnant too, but I think he had been drinking! waaa

C'mon leg-ends, you're closing in on SC and we all want to see the ferkins fly past them...................... Creature and Sarah - surely a mankini wouldn't ever be innapropriate clothing??!!!!! Row, row, row this damn boat!!!

Trish ~ did think I might be having a girl though!! (wait for it!) love you Guido, wouldn't change you for the world, tubs xx (know you can do this,you and andy are flying)
