Jeremy seems to be the man with the hot line. Please put the champagne down for a minute so that we know they have made it?! We are so pleased for you Andrew & Guy. All the very best to you, your family and friends.

well it would appear that we know world record holders. They crossed the line at 1633 UTC, 1733 BST 30th July 2009 effin great job one and all - congratulations Guy and Andy... the southerly wind is blowing somewhat and they are struggling to get south, so both on the oars now, and making their way around the headland as we speak. No big deal about the wind - it's the safe direction blowing them offshore. Next record = land to land will update you when I hear more. Jem

So YOU'VE DONE IT! That is absolutely amazing and can't even begin to think how you must be feeling. The celebratory vibes are so strong from Mauritius that we are going round to the Jelley's tonight to toast your incredible, amazing achievement. We are all so proud of you and really looking forward to seeing you all. Never known a world record holder before - how weird! And how fantastic are you two! Sue & Geoff (& Steve-somewhere up a cold wet Welsh mountain being kept in touch by phone!) P.s. Bet there are some "mummy" tears being shed right now!

YES BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON!!!!!!!!! I might just be going to the pub to have celebratory beer (or two, or three....). Amazing. In the meantime can get on with the work I have supposed to be doing rather than watching the dots all day! Heh, you might even be back for the Earl's Court beer festival... 8th Aug. Up for it?! Bet I could drink you under the table for once, Watts. Both, so proud.
