Great news, the guys have reached the penultimate checkpoint before Seadrift. Words really can't describe how well they're doing-104 miles in 25 hours (53 hours since we started), 23 miles to go and it's 32 deg c. The 23 miles to go includes 4 log jams and the bay crossing to the traverse. The bay is waist height and they will need to put a splash cover on the boat to stop the waves entering the boat and weighing them down but they are very determined. We will be playing the national anthem and saluting them, singing with a tear in our eye as they get near to the finish line, spurring them on.
Tell Wallsy to have his chequebook at the ready........
The champagne is now officially 'on ice'.
