Since we’ve been out here on our epic adventure, we have acquired a number of supporters and it seems quite a few will be in Antigua when we get there. |

We realise that some of you may be getting a bit worried that our position isn’t being updated on the Woodvale website. Don’t worry we haven’t slipped into the Bermuda Triangle or anything like that. When we were in La Gomera, the race organizers fitted an ARGOS tracking beacon that is supposed to send our position every hour but to be honest, we’ve had problems with it right from the start and have now changed the fuses 3 times and it seems to have gone again. After we send this blog we are going to have to remove the unit from under the gunnel and reposition it on the top of the gunnel and then communicate back to Race HQ the information that we get relating to the LED’s on the unit! Of course this could be a really easy job but anything like that out here is a nightmare because of the rolling waves. Hopefully we’ll get it working again but incase we don’t, we’ll post our nautical miles to go to the finish from our own GPS – this should be fairly accurate as it’s calculating how far we have to go to our next waypoint, which happens to be the finish line! |

After a constant bombardment of huge waves and strong winds, the conditions seem a little kinder today and we pray that they stay that way as two days ago, we had a couple of nasty surprises. |

In our desperate bid to stay as close to 17 Degrees North as possible, we found the elements didn’t want to play ball and sent us 15 miles too far South. So yesterday and last night we found ourselves having to grit our teeth and row so hard to claw it all back. As usual, this meant going sideways onto the waves which in turn means getting soaked all the time. |

Things are a little quiet on the boat at the moment – even between the two of us. Probably due to the desperation to just get there now and us constantly thinking about the things we’re looking forward to when we reach land. Also in our own minds, we’re reflecting on what we have done so far and how we can use the experience in the future – whether to further our careers or to take on a complete change of direction – who knows where this will lead us. |
