Last time you will see that view of the boat until Mauritius! Ferkins really are flying. Looks fantastic. Have a great time and keep focussed on how it will feel when you arrive in Mauritius. Will be watching your progress.

Here's wishing you great luck and success in your endeavour. Peter and Jenny have asked us to pass on their love and support to you too. We'll be tracking your progress closely. Love Chris, Ali, Jenny, Peter, Jonathan, Nicky & baby Alex! xxx

In 1954 the Journal of the American Medical Association ran an 'academic' study which concluded running a 4-minute mile was physically impossible. In June that year a 25-year old British medical student Roger Bannister - in a crosswind of 15 mph - ran a mile in 3 mins 59.4 seconds. A month later, an Australian, John Landy did the same with a time of 3 minutes 57.9 seconds. Now thousands have. Believe. J

Boys, we're all so sure that this will be a successful world record attempt that I'm thinking we might be able to get Kris 'Awooga' Akabusi and Cheryl Baker on board to do a one off 'Record Breakers' show at that finish line in Mauritius. I'll get on it! 'If you wanna be the best If you wanna beat the rest Oh-oh dedication's what you need; If you wanna be a record break-er, Oooooh.' Ed
