On Solid Ground!!!
Original article · 30 July 2009
WE MADE IT!  Wow, we are totally overwhelmed by the support we have had during the race it kept us going every stroke.  Walking is a bit tricky and both are a little lighter than when we started some 100+ days ago.  To get those World Records is the icing on the Angel Cake that was waiting for me at the finish! That was the toughest challenge we have ever attempted and to win is an indescribable feeling. We are having a well deserved beer here in Mauritius and will update you tomorrow when I stop tripping over my own feet! A big big thanks to Jem & Tim for their enduring commitment, time and passion to the project & especially for believing in us when we where at our lowest. You won us the race!Again a big thanks to everyone who has supported us and contributed to this blog. And finally a lot of respect to Southern Cross who pushed us all the way. Goodnight & thanks from Mauritius Andy

Went away for the weekend, but not before I knew that they had made it safely into Mauritius which was really exciting so was really glad to see that people are still blogging. Looking forward to seeing the boys when they get home but am a bit apprehensive about what they might want to do next! Any suggestions - how about some sewing - I know a great teacher! love Andy xx
