Shore Team: Becky and Steph have been able to make some steady miles the last few days on the back of some friendly weather (for once!), and this has helped their morale no end. A shoal of fish is still accompanying them (unidentified), along with some flying fish which are stripy, colourful ones. These display a propensity for suicidal flying into the boat - one, luckily only an inch in length, managed to launch itself right into the middle of Becky's forehead. Steph has a painful elbow but fortunately there was a doctor (or two) on board and treatment has started to make it better! They are very grateful for all the donations to their website and asked for their thanks to be passed on to the donors and all their well-wishers. The crew were sorry to learn about Spirit of Cornwall's capsize and were very relieved to hear the crew was safe. There has also been a sixth capsize and subsequent successful rescue - this time of the crew of Serenity Now. On a happier note the crew of Bout-de-Vie have completed the race - what makes this all the more amazing is that both crew members are leg amputees. Congratulations to them. Marion Making Waves is crewed by Rebecca Thorpe and Stephanie Temperton from Nottingham UK http://www.makingwaves2005.org/ Event website http://www.atlanticrowingrace.co.uk |
