Getting in to the row of things!

460 miles done . . . .

The girls are online – they think! I have now received a few emails so it looks promising. Keep the texts coming through Iridium for now though and we'll let you know when emails are being received!

The weather has turned now (as expected) so it’s a struggle to row with wind from almost every direction. They’re reporting frustration at their lack of progress over the last 24-36 hours. Seems the big sleep on Sunday was well timed!

When questioned why their aqua dot was consistently further north than many of the other boats the girls replied that they are in search of 20N 30W to catch the trade winds sooner (a tip given by the South African boys who are flying along in boat 14). Good luck girls!
