Good evening all. Things are going well. Sean wants to point out that the change in the distance left to row is not the same as the distance they have rowed. It is dependant on the route they are taking. As they are taking the southern route the benefits of this route will be seen when the trade winds kick in. They have been averaging 3knots/hour which , according to the Olympic rower James Cracknell, is quite a fast row .
Sean also tells me that they have found a new sport.... Surfing the waves in a rowing boat . They surf along the top of the wave and paddle as fast as they can as the wave breaks. Watch out, Paulette , it sounds as if this is his new craze
Finally I'm sure you're all wondering how Sean's back is. He tells me that it is much better and he has no need of the tramadol any more .
