Day 88 - Central Indian Ridge

Original article · 16 July 2009

Another cracking day of rowing as Andrew and Guy continue to push hard. Massive leap as the boys break the 70 longitude [wooohooo]. A South Easterly wind holding until the weekend. Flying Ferkins is traversing the Central Indian Ridge at a depth ranging from 3,500m to 1,900m. Eating really well and consequently the boat getting lighter (final beer gone down well! hehe). Distance made West: Wednesday 15th July 49nm Thursday 16th July 50nm Please keep those comments coming fellow blog friends. Tom out.

Actually, I bet you've already planned your next challenge already haven't you? All that time rowing, what's it to be next, The Atlantic? You have done so amazingly well so far, when I think about the fact you've been rowing all this time, whilst I've been sat at my desk doing mind numbingly boring work, I am well and truly inspired by you both.

Fantastic progress- catch those Gingers! I can't imagine what 88 days at sea in a little boat is like but you are still in our thoughts every day. I've been watching Cracknell and Fogle's DVD- puts into perspective what you're doing considering they were only at sea for about 50 days! Think its got to be the Pacific next?! :) Hope you took lots of video/photos of the blue whale! How long do you think you will be in Mauritius celebrating before you come back to the UK? Cant wait to see you both. Neil.
