As you have probably noticed by now, there has been a significant lack of blogs from Niall and James recently....I come with bad news that their laptop has died a death!! Hopefully this is only temporary as they are desperately trying to fix it but apparently it will only log on in safe mode at the moment which is no good to them at all - are there any enthusiastic IT whizzes reading this that have any solutions?? There is the sneaking suspicion that the "small amount" of salt water that splashed it a week ago may have caused some damage...

Aside from this disaster, resulting in the boys not being able to read your motivational emails, reply to messages or write their now famous blogs, they are actually doing well, and at present are holding off Ocean Summit, Mission Atlantic and Row of Life admirably, however Row of Life are moving up the field remarkably quickly!

Obviously they still really need your support, which they can receive via text message on their Satellite Phone. If you go to the Iridium website, you can send a text message free online (don't text from your mobiles), however, please note that they will not be able to reply to you.

The web address is: http://messaging.iridium.com
Satellite phone number: +881631638247

Please send them lots of messages as it really helps them to get through the tough times, and will bring Antigua closer!
Also, please don't forget to keep sponsoring them - either follow the link to their Charity Just Giving page from their website, or alternatively, Buy them a 'drink' for their efforts on the following web page: http://www.justgiving.com/rachelbrixey_drink

Fingers crossed that the laptop recovers.
