Mate, i have been following this since day one.
I totally admire where you are in the pecking order and think leading the race at this point is incredible.
Keep it up dude, and if you get an opportunity to reply please feel free to drop me a short line.
I am not worthy .

Doing a great job! Keep your heart up. Any words for your 'Is this the way to Atigua' rowing song yet?
Our suggestion is:
Is this the way to Antigua
Hope it's not far for our rations are meagre (Hard to get something to rhyme with Antigua!)
Is this the way to Antigua?
Where our dear Christine waits for us.
Any use? Need a few more verses I think. We'll let someone else have a go!
Take care. Love & Prayers.

Red Arrow - I'm concerned that you are laughing at the appaling jokes.... Two blondes were driving along a road by a wheat field when they saw a blonde in the middle of the field rowing a row boat.The driver blonde turned to her friend and said "You know - it's blondes like that that give us a bad name!"To this, the other blonde replies "I know it, and if I knew how to swim, I'd go out there and drown her."
