Hi guys!! Good to hear that you are having better rowing weather again! Sarah is too, and has had a good day today,made even better by the discovery of some more Mars bars that she didn't know she had.I'm sorry, but I don't think there are any left....she's needed them to help her row you see!!! Just keep plugging away at those miles. Thinking of you. Take care, Xtina and I want to meet up in Mauritius ....and soon if possible!! Helen

Yo! I should think the boat does need a jolly good clean, what with all the 'balls out' rowing!!! He he. Lets keep that speed up now boys (Tom Cruise - Top Gun "I feel the need, the need for speed!"). Godspeed my loves. Mark xx
