Tonight the Toby Wallace crew will be rowing their final night at sea – they are 79nm from the finish in Barbados and have had a superb day with 99nm rowed in the past 24 hours!! This will have been aided by several factors…..they have three packs of Expedition Food left; they will be able to see the lights of Barbados and oh yes, the weather is giving them 20-25 knots behind them all the way in!!
They have already been discussing what their first meal back on land is going to be and are very much looking forward to cold beers all round too.
Meanwhile, Phil McCorry and Dan Renner who arrived into Bridgetown, Barbados on Monday 29 December after 49 days, 9 hours and 4 minutes have been enjoying the beer in Barbados and are returning home to the UK tomorrow….sadly missing the Toby Wallace crew arrival by a few hours! You can read all about their arrival at their blog at http://atlanticchallenge14.org/after-49-days-3286-28-miles/.
Oceanus Rowing managed to catch up with them today in Barbados and it’s good to see them happy, healthy and looking forward to getting back home.
They had a great trip and got on really well – well done guys, great effort!
More updates tomorrow from the Toby Wallace – at the moment they are due to arrive late tomorrow afternoon Barbados time (which is four hours behind UK time) so watch this space!!
