Sore bottoms

Well over half way now, and less than a week we hope to the under 1000miles to go. Constant bad weather has caused non stop rowing problems for the boys. Every time you look on the weather sites the waves are going south or east- not following the traditional trade route patterns. So it has been hard work- not that it isn't normally. Everything is sore including the ocean rowers bottom- however thanks to the black sheep fleece, no boils! just salt water sores. Matt however is in good spirits as he can see the end in sight. Fixing the cooker was also a great boost. Dispite having taken several, they have found the constant spray a cooker killer and were down to their last one, however Matt managed to get one that had given up the ghost back and working. Better weather has been a great boost too. But still over 20 days to go- it has been a long haul, not only for them but for us left behind.

Black Sheep
Never knew they had a sheep with them , let alone that they had shorn it! So glad that they are now down to the final 1000 miles. What mental strength they have to keep on despite the terrible weather they had to put up with. Looks like we'll be meeting them in Barbados. kEEP ON PULLING BOYS. Vnaessa- mum
