We are bobIing along at 2-3 knots

That cold beer in Barbados seems like a long wy off yet.

Captain keeping up morale by leading group singing of second world war songs, swimming off the back of the boat.

Mark wants to know if someone could send a SunSeeker to pick us up!

Corned beef hash for supper again tonight! Just seen another boat (second so far) Everyone is excited - singing suspended!

Jack and I got a bit excited this morning as it looked like you had moved into 3rd place...

I had to laugh about the laundry and think about Rod, not sure if Caroline has ever had to do your laundry - lucky her...

Tony, missing you and thought you might enjoy Rick Collopy's comment -
"Tony....if you hit a submerged container at night Gilly is going to need a skipper for her annual sailing holiday..I just wanted to make sure that you would have had no objections of me as that skipper !
cheers and good luck regards to Marcus.."

Enjoy your last few days, much love Gilly and Jack

Any signs of scurvy yet?! With all this corned beef talk I wonder if fresh supplies are running low or else the chef's gone on strike!
Hope Ollie's still doing his bit and feeding you BIG hungry crewmen OK...

Not so long to go now.Wish we were gonna be there in the welcoming party -was SO envious of Rachel setting off!

Hug for Yulie, Charlotte/Marlie

Not sure if my last attempt got through which is a shame because it was incredibly funny. Jack D says his aren't getting through either so we might have to jump on a ferry and hand-deliver!
In fact I am wondering if everyone else is texting by some clever teccy means that I don't know about!
Penny wants to know if Marco took his birthday prez with him and if everyone on board has leafed throught it yet?!
There is a lot of chatter amongst the masses at home about your progress so you are far away but not forgotten.
Have fun and no running round the deck after dark.
