270 nautical miles to go

Dear All,
 
I thought I'd give you another quick update as it was just over a week ago since my last. However, unfortunately I can't really give much of an update as I haven't been able to speak to them since then. I last spoke to Niall last Sunday (20th) as in the previous message, but he failed to call me this week, plus the radio interviews appear to have ceased since last Tuesday/Wednesday so I can only conclude that their satellite phone has decided to join the laptop...
 
I had a few messages recently regarding the satellite phone number I had given out as it didn't work for everyone. The number I gave is correct, but the '+' sign in front of it is not needed. Do keep sending the odd text message just in case they can receive them, but other than that can I suggest you post your messages on the Woodvale site where at least they'll be stored, and the boys will be able to read the support they were receiving during the last week of their race once they have landed in Antigua - still a fantastic thing for them to read once recovered.
 
As they only have about 270 nm to go, this should mean that they land in Antigua within the week, most probably over the weekend. Please continue to support them in any way you can and don't forget to buy them that celebratory 'drink' on the Just Giving site for when they land.

It will mean so much to them to know the support they have received during the last leg of their crossing, especially as they will be finding it so tough right now without any contact.
 
They will update the blog as soon as they can once they have recovered a bit after their finish!
 
Don't forget those drinks :) I would love us to be able to get to total up to £1000 and only you can help with that... Show your appreciation for the entertainment they have supplied over the last 2 months through the blogs, and the excuse not to do any other work, (if you can't think of a better reason)!
