Mobilse your well worn backside bums, its time to get it together, dig deep, you have done well and it's time to become gods and become chariots of fire if only temporary.

annie mel.distance wise you were in glasgow at the weekend. you have made excellent progress and should pass through my home town today.im not going to say where as you need to count down the miles which will make bristol/antigua appear sooner. you have rowed through the lake district and its all down hill now. love pete
bristol balloon pete, 17 Mar 2010 23:41 GMT
Wow guys you are 12th! Awesome!!
You'll be finished before you know it and what will bradshaw do with his time then???? I dread to think! You'll have to find something else to occupy him. lol
teresa bradshaw, 17 Mar 2010 23:31 GMT
annie mel. TREMENDOUS achievement so far. if the winds are favourable you can be home and dry in 4 days. your boat will be very light now. coupled with your determination and inner strength and your will to succeed. gather your resolve and go for it. get the yellow dot on land. love pete.

Well boys - need the luck of the Irish on this St. Patrick's day to speed you to that finish line. Get those good winds behind you and get some surfing in to ease the rowing. Looking forward to seeing those miles crack the 100. Everyone here on your side. x

Congratulations on reaching the 485 mark. Sorry the winds are not favourable it must be so frustating for everyone to be so near and yet so far, We will keep praying they will help you to speed to the finish line soon and that James 's back will improve. The one consolation you have is that it has been one of the worst and slowest races. We love your blogs and the money is creeping up. Keep going and smiling we are all behind you. Love Kay

We are all so excited to see the finish line looming - amazing effort guys. It's going to be so weird to walk on solid ground again. By the way, have you tried walking on water Jesus style or calming the storm? Hey, may be stay in the boat in case! Love The Thornes

Yeeehhhaaa - Come on Mike & Simon you're firing on all cylinders now - another place in your grasp and you need to make more distance between those lovely Explore girls! Who knows about Spirit of MA - no idea where they are 9th, 13th who knows!
Mike, we can't wait for our usual family meet ups down Langland, - I've got to say it's extreme lengths to go to to miss a Gower winter with no surf!

Dear Dom,
Into 10th place now and only 140 to go, phenomenal.
Happy paddy day to you all, hope you keep some passing seaweed to make your bunnets for today.
With your beards and green hats you must look like leprechans or fishing knomes to the passing wildlife. Mind you dont attract passing marlins.
We are all wishing you on yo the finish, well you will need cheering after your team slip 13 points behind Rangers. lol

For the FANTASTIC Waterbabes
I can't believe you have the strength left to turn it into a race to the finish!
.....or is it that you can't wait for that shower / beer / champagne and sorbet, in no particular order.
Hope the weather stays kind to help you to the finish.
Best wishes

Congratulations on passing the 500 nm mark. I'm sure the jelly babies tasted good. please pass on our congratulations too to Joe and Bubbles for their big announcement. Time to shop for a new hat. Always good to have a family wedding. I trust that we'll get an invite!! Im hoping that the wind direction will be going more in your favour from Thurs onwards. The winds we see here for Wednesday dont look so hotly in your favour but hopefully the forecast is wrong. The winds look strongly in your favour from Thurs and over the weekend. Lets hope those ones are correct. Love & prayers. xxxx

Norman and James - Last 500 then! That's 30 and 3 x 10 strokes for us (sorry - metres that is!) We have just consumed a fruit pastille each in the absence of jelly babbies!! (sic!) Technical coach suggests it may be time to raise the rate(strokes per minute) by a couple of pips - for the next 10 - 15 days and then step up to the line over the last 3!! Seriously boys - ignore all that! Keep doin what you're doing - all looks good from here! Hope celebrations on board went well! All the best, Vicky and Janet
