Food, food, my kingdom for some food - Day 95 Who would have thought that it would take this long and still
500 to go. James phoned this morning to give an update on the current
situation. He reported good rowing conditions during the day when they
could see the water around them, less favourable at night when it's more by feel
particularly on the steering. Some lucky boats apparently have GPS
guided automatic steering! Food remains the big issue and the boys are
definitely feeling the effects of a calorie reduced diet now with some weariness
setting in particularly at night. James described the rowing
regime that they had formulated last night to make best use of the daytime
conditions allowing them to rest up more at night. As we have come to
expect from them now it once again sounded like a sensible, mature and effective
plan. Perhaps they should be encouraged on their return to apply these
new-found thinking skills to the running of the country, all other political
parties watch this space. They are still on course if the current weather
conditions hold to finish before the food runs out, but when exactly this will
be is anybody's guess.
As always, laughter in the background, sounded as though it
was just a little training row down the Thames. Amazing!!
Keep the messages coming, especially to the sat
phone.
Out for now
