Day 22 - 600nm crossed

Original article · 11 May 2009

The boys have broken the 600nm mark! They are soon to cross 100 degree's longitude! As we can see from the progress tracker on the Woodvale site, the boys have lost a fair few nautical miles on Southern Cross. It's not easy being back markers. So Andrew & Guy have to pick themselves up physically and mentally and get the pace going again. Instead of taking lunch and afternoon breaks and having a decent sleep, they'll be rowing a little harder to pull back the distance dropped. Cummon boys!

Maybe they use each other for cuddles in such a tight space, reckon there must at least be some accidental (?) spooning going on?!
