Looks like our eta is thursday 2.30pm. Cant wait to arrive but sad the adventure is finishing. Cant wait to see everyone, enjoy a beer and some good food. Our auto helm broke again so we have manual steering with Leven and Culum helming until thursday. We have still managed to maintain the pace. Infact we are faster if anything because it is easier to surf the waves. Leven passed out on deck because he hadnt drunk enough water. I actually think it was tims boring story on spinal fluids which did it. Really hot here therefore lots of electrolyte need to be drunk.
Good Blogs James – we are all looking forward to seeing you lads very soon – brilliant rowing in spite of the load of rubbish weather and other issues flung at you. Mione
So, James & ‘crewmates’, your thirty-something days of hiding in a bar in downtown Barbados are nearly over. Time to stagger into that boat, start the hidden motor and chug around the headland with your beards and stories of monsters. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but I really can’t see how anyone can row across an entire ocean – it’s hard enough to get from one side of Stanborough Lakes to the other. I reckon you’ve just hit on a really clever way of getting a month off work. Apparently the Titan crew are sobering up in the bar down the road and are just about to hop into their boat too.
Just a thought (because I know you adventurers are obsessed with weight) – does a Bic disposable razor weigh more or less than the accumulated growth of hair on your collective faces? Maybe you could have shaved a few seconds off your time, but I suppose the ‘hairy look’ is more authentic.
Finally, I’m deeply saddened by the fact that my days of staring at an apparently motionless yellow line on Google Maps are coming to an all-too-soon finale. Luckily, I still have my other fav website to comfort me – vaticanchimneywebcam.com – no white smoke yet
ps – wouldn’t it be funny if you’d left the passports bag in Gran Canaria. Maybe not.
