Bravo for your tenacity, would that we all could learn from you stick-to-itness. You give us all hope. Best wishes and prayers for you in the days and miles ahead. Here's to healthy oceans for the laughing rover and a merry yarn when the long trick is over!

Brush yourself off and start all over again! Sitting in our offices or homes reading your advertures captivates our imaginations. Your chipper attitude and no nonsense approach to these mishaps is astonishing. Bravo for raising over 6,000 GBP thus far! Hi Sarah, a true Brit through and through!

Hi Geoff! See Sarah, we are still all with you every day. Just not a lot to report from our quieter lives. A big thankyou to you for introducing us to Mr Barry Gumbert. He has refocused me on some of my most fav. verses. Barry, are you into ballards? I think we could put Sarah onto some Henry Lawson, entertaining yarns, with an Oz connection. But I only type with two fingers so it would take me ages....Geoff? Well that little roly-poly episode brought the silent admirers back out. Hi Geoff! See Sarah, we are still all with you every day.

I was listening to the radio last night and they are so in awe of your cheefulness and dogged determination. Keep the spirtits going, so pleased the winds are blowing the right way and some seroius miles can be got in the near future. Great story to tell in the book. chocolate rations not too WET!! AND THE SOCKS oaky. great spirit and fortitude in the face of a huge wave or two.

Maybe you should get to Mauritius, grab a quick shower, stock up on chocolate then head back to Oz. Once you're back there, start the journey all over again! On a serious note, I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but Michael Jackson died last night and people are already saying that they will always remember where they were when it was announced. You should have no doubt remembering where you were! I can’t help feeling that once you get on dry land, it will seem extremely boring considering the adventure you’re having.

Here am I sitting in my den in California listening to your interview on the BBC and being able to tell you that I am astounded by your pluck. I have been following your fellow adventures, Zac Sunderland (a local boy for me!} and Mike Perham as they singlehandedly circumnavigate. Your adventure and the driving force behind it are in the same class. Keep on truckin' young lady and keep your bum dry!!! Don’t we live in an incredible world?

So I thought you'd probably been rolling over average of one per week. But blimey, if that's the first you have done well. They reckon the chance of getting on a plane that's got a bomb on it is one in a million. Which means the chance of getting on a plane with two bombs is one in a trillion. Thus is the case made out for always taking your own bomb when flying. Hopefully the same applies to rolling your row boat - couldn't happen twice in one trip. Very sensible to have 'brought your own'. For mum; when solo at sea, your tether becomes a companion. At first you wear it because you know you should, but gradually, you feel entirely "naked" without it. Like leaving your mobile or purse behind. It is very easy to remain tethered at all times - it is welcome, and not just for safety. Hang in there Sarah.
