A very quick note to mark another milestone – Hamish and Nick can once more see Land! The pair reached Norfolk yesterday evening and are now chugging along at a great speed heading homewards! Obviously they don’t want to count there chickens before they hatch but if conditions remain the same and no surprise storms crop up there is a chance that this time next week they may be crossing (or not far off) the finish line.
The boys are also back in mobile reception so I was able to speak to them last night and they both sounded good. They are both starting to think about the food they want to eat first on arrival back to civilization…I can only imagine that after 6+ weeks of freeze dried rations fresh fruit and veggies will seem the biggest luxury in the world for the pair.
The next obstacle will be the Thames Estuary followed by some ship spotting as they pass Dover – all of this will hopefully happen over the weekend so keep an eye on the tracker and keep your support rolling in. For a much more cheerful update from the boys listen to their latest Phlog (posted on the homepage). And for all those who are around please keep the evening of the 9th of July free for a celebration at the Thames Rowing Club in Putney to welcome Hamish and Nick home and hear some stories of their adventure- more info on that to come, obviously we need to get the boys home first!!
Cheers, Jess
