Hi Sean,
You must have been rowing hard all night, great progress. Would you believe that the computer goes on here in the mornings before the kettle, shows you how addicted we are to 'dot tracking'!
Stay safe,
Natalie.

Morning Lee, Ian and rest of crew. You guys and girls are amazing, already 41nm in front of the current record, you must be flying. To know this must be good for the spirits, I know it makes me feel very proud of you all. Keep up the good work, keep pulling strong. Stay safe and well. Love to you all.
