We had the great news last night from Caroline in Antigua, that we have just 550 n/miles left to go. This means that we have rowed over 2,000 n/miles so far – we still find it amazing that we’ve been able to do this. It doesn’t matter how many people tell us we’re awesome, brave, courageous etc. we think we’re just regular ordinary people living our dream. |

With our families now having booked flights and accommodation, we are hoping to make landfall on 16th February – but of course the Ocean may have other ideas by then! Yesterday we made huge progress West, but most of that was on rough water and steering rather than rowing. By 1am, conditions were pretty horrible on deck and as Lin is suffering a little from her injury, we decided to drift for the rest of the night. Safety comes first on this boat. |

We may be a little inebriated by the time we arrive in English Harbour. Good job we get an escort from the Antigua & Barbuda Search & Rescue Team really. |

We mentioned in a recent blog that we hadn’t seen much wildlife recently, and are hoping that this changes as we get closer to the Caribbean. Today Rachel was rowing just before a handover and spotted a dark patch in the water behind the boat. Concerned that it might be fishing net about to foul up the rudder, Lin popped out to take a closer look. Only to find the biggest turtle in history staring back at her! |

Is everything really so sweet on the boat between us? We often get asked about how we’ll cope with different situations onboard particularly if we start to get on each others nerves. It’s inevitable that will happen sometimes but thankfully not as often as perhaps we thought. |
