Day 6 - Keep the miles coming boys!
|
The boys continue to row hard and decided to get on the oars through out the night! Real progress in terms of mileage. Support crew getting the hang of the best tactics for the long race. Worth listening to Absolute radio tomorrow as small chance the boys will get a ’shout out’ on Jo Russell show (10am - 1pm). Comments as always, greatly received! |

What a great day….great performance, really putting in the miles and closing down on the other pairs by the minute! Seem to be in a good position as well given the wind seems to be pushing them all north ….I bet they feel better for such a good day. Well done you two. Proud of you, yet again!

what an amazing progress!!!!! Gerard is back again in Dongara, he might be stretching his eyes on the horizon. Following your track and Sarah’s is becoming very addictive, it is the first thing we do in the morning and last thing we do at night, we are loving it, but we always have a thought for your hard work and tremendous courage. Keep rowing hard, you are catching up!!!!!!!!

Go for it you guys!

We’ve been following you from the start, amazing progress and really well done. We think you’re doing fabulously and feel as proud of you both as if you were our own! Keep it up - remember there’s a whole host of us “mums & dads” back here who are willing you on and KNOW you will succeed and do amazing things.

what a great 24 hours, great tactics, seems that 2 days feet up watching ipod has paid dividens ! Seems funny that others have rowed a lot further but not that much further on, or now behind ! Keep on with the great effort, all willing every stroke from you both…my arms are aching just thinking of it ! Good luck for the next 24 hours and can’t wait for the update…

Cant believe their progress it is fab!! So so addictive, real hindrence on my uni work!!

Southern Cross position is not 2 days old, it is 36 hours old (or thereabouts).
They were ahead of Doing Time at a 4:00am update - compared to Doing Time update 2 hours later. Which suggests to me that they are probably something like 3 to 4 miles ahead.
Glad they finally took the outboard motor out of its packaging! I was thinking that they would never get round to it.

Boys-sounds like your smashing it out there! So glad you are alright,I guess it had something to do with Del’s ‘healing hands’ that’s cleared your sores Watts and got those miles done?! I’m heading to New York with Anna now, and I’m gonna preach your gospel stateside! No seriously,I am! Keep it up,I know you’ll be the best. Craig. P.S. ‘Mr Toad? I just don’t believe it! The toad is the ugliest of all the amphibians’ xx
