Come on Yorkshire Challenger!!
Luke, Macca, you are doing great lads.
It doesn't seem that long ago you two were sat in the Lion after your hike discussing mad plans - great to see you doing the dream!
Bring it home lads!

Ey Up Skippy and Phil,
What is it with you lads down there in Devon? First we hear one of you has attempted to swim the Channel (on Bastille day wasn't it?) and now you're rowing the Atlantic.
Unbelievable!! I take my flat cap off to you.
The very best of luck to you both and now I think it's time for another pint of Tetleys..........

Hello All Fellow 'Dot Watchers'
I am glad to see so much support on the site for the crews out there braving it crossing the Altantic.
Must be difficult sometimes watching loved ones from afar, hoping they are okay, but I must say well done to all crews, they are doing so well, such amazing determination and strength and you have to remember its all for a good cause.
To the Girls on Mission Atlantic, another really fantastic day, keep up the good work and watch the miles tick down.
I'll be with you, watching you all the way!
Take Care & Stay Safe

Hi Charlie and the team,
Chris Corrigan, a mutual friend of Charlie's and mine told me of this effort. It is very brave of you Charlie and I pass on my admiration and best wishes. I will be thinking of you. I wish I had enough dough to come out ot Antigua to meet you when you arrive. By the way I have just gone bust in my small property development business care of RBS. If there is anything I can do that would allow me to earn a flight out and expenses for the duration of the parties I am free and available right now! Whatever God is, I believe in it/he/she!; and I bet you get closer through this experience. So God bless, Doug
Doug Gatward, 12 Jan 2010 12:00 GMT

Hello everyone out there in the Atlantic,
One week in, and still going strong, keep up the good work, it will be so worth it,
And to all the families and friends who are constanly on this site, i was in your shoes last year when my fiancee rowed the Indian Ocean, so i know how you feel, dot watching everyday, sleepless nights, worrying, but trust me the finish line is 100% worth it,
To see Matt after 69 days at sea was a feeling i'll never forget. It was an experience that changed both our lives. Be soo proud of them out there because its no picnic, But keep up the messages and the support because they truely need it.
....And keep donating to their charities because thats why they are out there in the first place,
Much Love and happy dot watching
