A busy weekend ahead . . . .

Well another day at sea not rowing! It’s the most ridiculous situation to be in, but we rowed for 4 hours yesterday and covered far too much mileage! So surfing all day today (a.k.a more like drifting!).

Thank you Lucy J (our number 1 fan) for your very witty email - “I think it is so funny that 2 women so well known for being late everywhere are now bobbing around in their trusty rowing boat in fear that they will be too early!!!” - we just don’t know what you mean!!
(Please tell Henry & Rupert that we are still wearing our friendship bracelets with pride!)

We had a little chat with solo rower Paul (Spirit of Fernie) last night as both of us were concerned about a close “unknown vessel”. Paul’s wife & children are eagerly awaiting him in Antigua, so he is doing his utmost to get there for them as soon as. Go Paul Go!

Tomorrow Herdip’s beloved sister, Bindi is showing that the mad family gene is dominant in them all as she jumps out of an aeroplane … sadly it’s not above us to drop off much needed chocolate supply … but a sponsored skydive in Hampshire for our cause! Good luck Bindi – we think you are mad, fab & brave! Hope that loads of people sponsor you.

Tonight we are GUTTED to be missing out on Jo Bardoe’s Valentine’s ball. We’ll be thinking of you every second, wondering what you’re having to eat, what will be the last dance and how much champagne you lucky people will get to drink. We are so jealous & would have done anything to have the opportunity to dress up & be all “lady like” to join you. Can’t wait to hear all about it, and how much money was raised. Thank you Jo, Victoria, Judy, Patsy, Caryn, Lucy, Louise, and Hannah for working so hard to make the ball possible.

On another note, we’ve been having calls from the media! If all is to be believed we will be in Saturday’s Sun newspaper and live on Radio 5 at21:00 GMT tomorrow. Look & listen out for us …….
