We had a great day yesterday, the rowing felt like a dream and the oars sliced through the water like a knife in soft butter. As with everything on the ocean the high didn't last very long, yet again the winds have turned to a rather strong north-easterly making it very difficult to stay on course. The rowing has been really tough today and despite all our physical effort the wind was still determined to push us more south then we would like. From a psychological point of view we allowed ourselves to drop further south to reach 899 on the mileage and brace ourselves for a night of drifting on the para-anchor.
On a very positive note however we were very excited to hear that Gquma and No Fear have reached Antigua. In awe and envy Bill and Pete we will order the Welsh rugby shirts now. Nick and Jon, Elin is wearing your No Fear top in the hope of some oar power and luck (you owe us chocolate).
Thanks for the parents of the boys on Jaydubyoo for their message, we hope the boys are well, can't believe they didn't stop for a cup of tea when they rowed passed us and by the way thanks for the extra batteries, they have come in good use!
Happy Birthday Sukhie (my big sister in Canada), have a great day, love you and miss you loads. Herdip XXX
