Superb effort! I cannot imagine what it must be like to be at sea rowing for so long, and I’ve no intention of finding out!! Enjoy the burgers and the motionless bed! Huge congratulations for such a mammoth voyage!

Fantastic – congratulations from all of H’s crew. Have now put in entries for Kingston and Vesta as we weren’t going to do them with any other cox!
Look forward to seeing you when you’ve finished celebrating and got back.

Well done to you both! A great achievement, not only rowing across an ocean, but also staying together in a very small boat 24/7 for 79 days!!! Enjoy your stay in Barbados – you have earned it! We (and St Mungo’s, et al) are all VERY proud of you!

Well done to you both on your wonderful achievement! I’m sorry and proud at the same time for getting you both bitten by the Ocean Rowing Bug back in ’97 when Richard was coaching my son Ben at Hampton school and I did my first Atlantic Rowing crossing. I’d like to think I had some influence on your mind (or lack of it), in deciding to finally take the plunge. I just know you will both take those memories with you wherever you go next!
BRILLIANT!!
