Row Across The Pond

Richard Hoyland and Steve Coe

Thu 14 Jan 2010 18:19

We've not made the progress we expected to today and we both feel rather deflated by this. We're putting in the hours...so where is it going wrong?

For certain the weather has not always been on our side but I guess this could be the first of many low days.

We will pull ourselves together and get back on the task in hand...we perhaps need to refocus on the here and now rather than projecting to the finish line...which will come when it is ready.

No new wildlife, but we were visited by Ocen Planet (support yacht), so for all at home we are been watched over :-)
