great to see the 1000m mark has been passed, superb achievement so far, next the half way mark then the sprint for home ! Great to see that you've made great headway into the SC boys, they'll be able to smell you soon !! Keep up the great rowing lads, Mike

Well done - 1000nm is a huge achivement. What is the next milestone? Have just been catching up on your blogs - I didn't realise anyone still listened to Enya - especially naked! You said you had been watching films - which ones did you take with you - presumably nothing water or rowing-related?! You are doing so well - keep it up and hope things stay calm for you. Nicky, Jonathan & Alex xx

Aha! Now I see why you're 1067 nm in with 2079nm to go, when Southern Cross are 1097 nm in with 2076nm to go. So basically, you've won!! Haha.

Yo wassup homeboys?! Bit down in the household today after the miserable loss last night to Barcelona. Never mind...worse things happen.....oh sorry...shut up Mark. Been camping for a few days in Snowdon, so just come on and checked your progress.......you're doing brilliantly well! Come on lads, I need a world record to cheer me up. Expect you'll have some severe mental scarring though, what with all the rolling around naked together. Hope those images don't come back to haunt you, just when you could do without it? (waaaaaa haaaaa) Trumpet Out (still making myself laugh with that...easily pleased)

All I know is that if SC keep going north then south they do more mileage for less distance!

Yes its great news, it must be a real relief for them to be able to get on and row after so much waiting! I make mid point 1565 nm so about 500 miles to hit that one....I hope the growing smell of an approaching FF doesn't spur the SC boys on too much!

Boys, first chance i've had to get on here in a few days as Mrs Jefferys-to-be and I took an extended Bank Hol break across the Channel. We felt tantalisingly close to you on our car ferry from Plymouth as we pitched and rolled over the sea to distant Roscoff. So it was with eager anticipation that i logged on to your blog to find you virtually level-pegging with SC! Sounds like they had to deal with a capsize - and you boys didn't fail to capitalise. Great work. Andrew, I have to admit my holiday was made complete watching Man Ure succumb to the might of Barca last night - Ronaldo's face at the end was a picture. Losing to the fiercest rivals of the team you'll join this summer: Priceless. And finally, Guy, thanks for the engagement announcement. How's your speech coming on? R&J xxx

Hi Guy, Denise and I thought about you last friday at Raj's polo match in Ascot. The champagne didnt stop flowing and the lobster was amazing but the best thing of all was the four ft chocolate fountain! But all said and done, we would much rather have been with you on your little boat in the Indian Ocean :) Miss you loads xx oh forgot to say - well done on reaching the 1000 mile mark!
