Great achievement boys, in fact every minute of every days is a great acheievment and everyone up here at MSS are so proud of what you are going through. Let's keep fingers crossed that the second half of the race goes to plan and those seas push you on toward the finish..keep rowing hard, you're both in out thoughts every day. Mike

So proud to be looking at this blog and to know how many people are supporting Guy and Andy.They are our Hero's. I watched the Race Day Video last night in this website Gallery ~ amazing ~ powerful ~ emotional and I am in awe of those two ~ they haven't stepped off Flying Ferkins for 60 days and they are still enduring the same pattern each morning as they look out to the Blue and row towards the endless horizon!! Still knowing they have to do the same mileage again to get themselves into Gunners Quoin Island, North Mauritius to the finish line; and then to climb off Flying Ferkins and to wobble up the beach. This is pushing their physical and mental capabilities to the absolute limit. All my love xtina

Absolutely incredible...total admiration of you both for putting yourselves through this and for the amazing support team you have behind you. Interested to know how much weight you've both lost? You both must be pretty sinewy now? Also- hows the beards doing? Im thinking we've gone way beyond Osama Bin Laden and Bill Odie by now? PS. Don't forget we're going to see U2 at Wembley on August 15th- you have to be back in time for that!! Big love, Neil.

Fantastic news, and was even more delighted to see that you're catching up those other two youngsters - go get 'em! xx
