Oi Oi Oi, Lads keep pushing that boat. Cannot imagine the chats we are gonna have when you are home. A topic that has popped up with my parents, "do you put sunblock on your Johnson?" And how long is your hairs? Thewys

To two men in a boat Pleased to hear things are going well. Thanks for keeping us up to date with your adventures. Godspeed Kx

You are doing just fantastic chaps! Keep up the good work. Row team row, row team row... Em x

Wow, not surprised there are problems down under given the blistering pace you’ve set…although sounds like Del’s got off lightly…! Anyway, absolutely incredible effort guys. Aiming to finish in 100days? I managed an impressive 10 mins on the rowing machine this week. Enjoy the rest of the journey xx

boys boys boys..... lets not pretend the birds you'l be wanting to see in Mauritius will be the feathered kind! xxx

Just row the race. Think about the process. Don't dwell on the result until it's history. Larry Gluckman (his quote don't know who he is)!

Now you are so close to home the enorminity of what you boys are acheiving is really starting to set in. It is for me an imcomprehensible acheivement. I have so much respect for both of you. Keep it going!

Boys!!! The biggest respect to you guys!!!! It was hard enough in a four, can't imagine how tough it must be in a pair. You're doing an AWESOME job out there!!! Enjoy it for all it is worth cos normality will hit you like one of those giant steam roller waves we all know and love before you know it! I already feel like it never happened!

Sarah ~ Great to have you and others from Woodvale on the blog ~ you all know what they are having to do to move at this pace!! They will love to know you are following this race still ... (my sister said their were Angels watching over them) Thank you xtina xx

First thing in the morning - before looking at my work emails - I check on your overnight progress. Good to see you are keeping the pressure on SC and maintaining a comfortable 50 mile lead. Another week and you should be on dry land. I look forward to adding your "Arrival in Mauritius" photos to your website gallery.

Yes John I am practicing my video recordings - how fantastic if I can get footage of them arriving. Plenty of photos will be taken that's for sure!!

Ocean Angel Sarah - I hope normality hasn't been too hard.......none of us can really know how you feel just imagine - the support from family and friends goes on................. :-) you'll never forget your amazing achievement.

Guy & Andy so sorry to miss seeing you both arrive on dry land!! Well I have just spoken to Xtina before their flight to meet you boys! I have been following you at least 3 times a day & kept asking for you both to be kept safe (forgot about your anatomy though!)Lovely to hear an earth Angel supporting you too!!! I am so pleased that you have endured what nature has thrown at you, tough times but also sometimes amazing sights & sounds! The amount of love being sent out is wonderful & if only we could amplify this. I will miss the banter of this blog & feel so very proud of you. So oooo looking forward to seeing you when you return, also I know Tim & Robert will be too. XXX
