Could never imagine being stuck in a row boat for 30 days, not even with my best friends! And that's just one tiny part of the challenge. You guys have experienced sickness, blisters, infections, and so much more, yet I heard you (Martin) on the radio the other and you sounded like a total trooper. Thanks for the updates and photos - see you in Auckland very soon. Take care!
Can't believe the time is finally nigh! I know there's been heaps of planning, training, learning, organisation, pitching, convincing and packing (and re-packing), but it's all about to pay off. The team's generously shared their adventure with everyone around them thus far and I can't wait for the next leg - finally the rowing!
