hi everyone,
as im sure niall will have told you before today i
have been suffering from seasickness so have avoided writing a blog. fortunately
i woke up this morning feeling much better, my mood suddenly took a nose dive
again when i managed to fall overboard! luckily niall and i are always attached
to the boat so it wasnt difficult to heave myself on board and carry on rowing.
the last few days have been tough, due to my
sickness i havent been eating so have been feeling weak, this coupled with the
huge seas and me missing everyone at home meant i have been pretty poor company!
im now getting into the routine and we are making good progress so my mood is
rapidly improving.
my last blog didnt get posted before we left so id
like to thank everyone who has helped us get here, this includes employers,
sponsors and supportors but in particular our friends and family who have
been and cotinue to be amazing. it was really tough saying goodbye to them but
it wont be long before we are back and much stronger for the
experience.
a bit of lighter news, niall suggested trimming my
bum hair as he had done it and it apparently stops so much salt accumulating, at
the moment it feels like i am sat on razor blades! so i entered the cabin and
started to trim away throwing the few hairs out of the back hatch. it was much
to my ammusement when i heard a sudden cry from niall, it turned out the wind
was blowing directly at him and he caught some of the hair in his
mouth!!
i will be updating the blog consistenly from now
on, please continue to send your messages of support, they are a great moral
boost! a quick congratulations to mr and mrs tommo on the arrival of your
beautiful son! thats great news and im sure will be far more challenging than
rowing a little ocean!
love to all of my friends and family, i'll be
thinking of you always and will be home soon. Mum and dad i really cant wait for
you to greet me in antigua, it will be amazing! jess i'll be in touch soon, dont
worry ive decided not to propose by sat phone.
James
