Not only has the 1000 nm been hit they are the same distance from Mauritius as SC................! Here's to the next 1000! Flying Ferkins Fly!!

Woop!! Congratulations! :) Really pleased that you've made the 1,000 mile mark without succumbing to sharks, big waves or scurvy - the news has brought a smile to my face. I've been following your progress regularly, though have been too busy with school/too lazy to post until now... Question: what will happen to all the buckets you've thrown overboard? Peter, from Horsham, West Sussex, England ;)

Amazing Petesz ~ have just bumped into your Father and given him Guy's "Two friends,One Boat" card for you to get on this blog ~ you beat me to it!! Guy has a lovely photograph on the Ferkin, of you two rowing for the first time at Southwater Country Park... you both started rowing at the age of 8 or 9 ..... Congratulations to Guy,Andy and Flying Ferkins ~ 1000nm ~ fantastic endurance.

Oi Oi Oi, saveloys, way to go boys. Keep pushing. Lots of Thewy love.

WOW 1000nm - we salute you both and are celebrating doing the "Guyness Mexican wave" - for those that want to join in.....that's both arms up in the air, little fingers and thumbs up high! shouting "YEAH"...... We continue to be so, so, proud of you both and are with you every step of the way. Question for you: Have you either of you dreamt whilst on board (keep it clean!)? x

Woo hoooooo...1000nm, nice one :) Your cravings are giving me cravings...for treacle & lemon drizzle cakes! Keep up the fab work xx

Wooo hooo! finally i can get on this site and send you a message! totally loving it... well done guys, massive achievement....in my blonde state i was just about to type the song 'and i would walk 500 miles and i would.....' but then realised you are indeed rowing...and infact gone past 500 miles twice now so that song title is totally useless..... ANyway, thinking of you TONS.... and will be checking so regularly now i have had it explained to me how this thing works! excuse my simple mind! loving you xxxx

In case you havn't heard Barca gave Utd a proper whipping. It was men against boys out there. Ronaldo was crying like a baby at the end.

Congratulation on reaching the 1000nm mark and narrowing the gap with SC. The bad weather you encounted a week or so ago gave us 50mm of rain here on the west coast. The sun burnt country is now quickly turning green and the farmers are busy planting their crops. In answer to Peter in West Sussex re your lost buckets, they may well turn up on a beach back here at Geraldton or even Dongera. I will keep my eyes open for them. Did you leave a message in one of them? I am not sure but I think we might have heard a bit of Enya drifting in on the sea breeze the other evening down at the Dongera farm beach (Dornford Castle) so the buckets can't be far behind. Safe rowing. Cheers, Roger and Sue.
