Sunday saw the girls row through the two week barrier which is often described as the turning point by those who’ve completed this challenge before (the first two weeks being the hardest both physically and mentally).
Elin has summed up their experience to date:
“Well we just can't believe it - we've been on the ocean 2 weeks! On one hand it has flown by so quickly that I would swear we have just been here 5 minutes, and on another it feels like we have experienced so much already.
We had some much needed R&R last night, and snuggled up in the cabin with a hot chocolate to watch the amazing view of the moon reflecting on the sea.
We then slept solidly for 9 hours!!!
Scrubbed the boat clean this morning - which overall means we've lost a good 12 hours rowing, but hope that it's time well invested. There's bad weather heading our way for wed by all accounts so hope to get some miles in beforehand.
The excitement of having the fish swim with us every night has kind of passed since we were told they only do it to protect themselves from predators!!! Hello!! That must make us more of a sitting target right?!?!
I can't tell you how much all the text messages you send means to us. They are truly and utterly a massive morale booster and help with the homesickness we’ve experienced - so please keep them coming! Even at weekend!! Sorry we can’t reply to everyone.
I'm off to fight Herdip for some skittles now. . . . .”
