Day 91 - Nether regions

Original article · 19 July 2009

A fantastic few days as Andrew and Guy work harder than ever. The conditions are now lighter. Overnight the boys rested up well, sleep an important element of the regime onboard Flying Ferkins. Guy under continued pain in his nether regions (bloggers note: please no more 'balls out' on the comments! waa ha 'bit more'). May take a chance to clean the boat as the sea calms. A big thank you to Jackie at The White Horse Inn in Storrington, David Harding the landlord at the Boars Head Tavern, Horsham and finally to Mark Pav! All have worked hard to promote the boys efforts and generated money towards Orchid. Distance made West: Saturday 18th July 49nm Sunday 19th July 34nm Please keep those comments coming fellow blog friends. Tom out. Click here to donate money for the fight against the spread of male cancers and support Orchid, the boys chosen charity. To follow our progress please go to the official Woodvale Challenge site.

Hi guys!! Good to hear that you are having better rowing weather again! Sarah is too, and has had a good day today,made even better by the discovery of some more Mars bars that she didn't know she had.I'm sorry, but I don't think there are any left....she's needed them to help her row you see!!! Just keep plugging away at those miles. Thinking of you. Take care, Xtina and I want to meet up in Mauritius ....and soon if possible!! Helen

Still haven't told me if you've seen those shooting stars - you must have done but guess you dont have time to look up! LOL xx
