Hey ~ who'd have thought
of inventing a sport
Where you can't see where you're going?
To row an ocean
with backwards motion
would leave you wondering
Who'd ever invented this sport!!

Second place in the pairs - row row row that boat boys, you're doing fantastically and we all cheering you on!!
About to leave the shores of Western Australia - as we head for Kuala Lumpar it will be strange to know Andrew and Guy are somewhere below us...........
Blow a KISS down there for me too Claire and safe journey home to both of you!!!
Guy and Andy are flying today too.
Fantastic progress boys ~ you are looking sooooooo good!!!

Good work, I've never known anyone go so far by travelling backwards
What's next....space travel?
Awesome progress lads - Southern Cross are in your sights! PULL !
CHICOS you are doing ace, GO TEAM GO, GO TEAM GO! Quite excited about the possible shark sighting, hope there was no suggestion of jumping in with it ;o)
Take care xxx
Wow tom fab blog. The competition is really on now there are only two. I do really feel for the 'doing time' team, as if they and their friends and family have been through all the mixture of emotions and dedication that us and the boys have experienced having to make the decision to retire must have been a real struggle. Glad they are safe though.
Now with the boys having such a fab support crew and immense following lets hope this gives them the push to succeed. I can only imagine that that lovely white cabin not longer appears so angelic!!!!!!!!!!
one word sums these two best mates up....................................WINNERS! They will be. Well done so far lads. Thewy
Right so we are at day 11... enough with all this schmaltzy bullsh*t. Second place is the first loser - so pull your fingers out and get rowing....
Hugs and kisses
Chris & Sarah

EVERYONE is behind you here - out of the cabin as in; pull more than you've ever pulled before...

Boys, you are doing AMAZINGLY. It's so exciting following your progress. Hope the sores/swellings are bearing up okay, and even if they aren't, who cares, Ferkins is flying!
In other news, I have a question for you. Rob at The Resident wants to know what species of shark you're spotting?? The people of Horsham want answers...

Boys-I'm currently watching Rattle&Hum on DVD,it's still completely mental. Reminds me more of you two more than anything. 'it's a musical journey' love ya x
Hi there, AWESOME progress!!! Get those arms muscles working, you are catching up..... How exciting....We cannot get away from the computer. Pressure is on. Row Row Row the boat, but not gently!!!!!!!!
Tom thanks for the great updates. Fly fly fly Ferkins! Fantastic last few days - doldrums left well behind and sharks stunned at how fast you can get away from them!
Feel sorry for the DT guys, but we're not going there! Onwards and upwards - keep it up guys.
Yes it must be the toughest thing in the world to have to retire after all that preparation and effort to get there! Just read the report on Old Mutual....makes you realise what the boys are dealing with. They are doing such a great job.....and they must know they can realise there dream. All they need is a little good fortune and a load of will power and I know they have the latter!
Go for it!
A push it - push it good..... Ah push it - p push it real good!!! As Salt n Pepa once said!!
Come on lads - first place is just waiting for ya, you can do it!!!!!!!

That Blxxxx current!!!...what a thing. Hope you get out of its grips soon.
Special message from Sarah, to say that she is now at 99degrees E. She's working hard and going well. She also says PLEASE can you let her know your iridium No so she can talk to you.
As I don't really want to publish my email address for one and all to see...maybe one of your team could contact me....they would have my email from when I logged on to your site.
Helen (Sarah's Mum)
PS ...you've got to fly now there are only two pairs left!!!!
