A night to remember

Phone call from the girls today who were jubilant after a nights rowing with a clear moon guiding the way and shining a mesmerising reflection on the ocean (a change from previous pitch black nights).
Throughout the night they also had flying fish of different colours surrounding their boat which kept them amused.
They have begun to really get the hang of night rowing and Herdip likened it to cycling at night when the crisp air makes you go that bit faster. They're enjoying riding the waves and say it sometimes feels like they're flying.

Food glorious food! - or not!! Porridge for breakfast takes 10 chews to get a spoonful down which is hardly appealing. Herdip has even gone off her granola bars (something which were her sole source of sustenance in the UK) and has opted for chocolate.

Herdip's foot is also much better and not slowing her from rowing.

They both talked of wanting to take a dip in the ocean but the thought of sea water on their fresh wounds has stopped them so far. Ouch!

Elin and Dip were both sounding really settled and relaxed as they seem well and truly into life on DreamMaker.
