At 42 years old and with a face as red as an angry farmer we the crew are pleased to announce that crew member Nigel Morris is today officially a birthday boy. In fine male tradition no one bought him a present and all refuse to wish him happy birthday!. In fact that is not totally true he was offered the opportunity to row all day on his own. We wont repeat his reply!
Well the 24hrs have been great Naturally Best has been ticking away the miles as we continue to make steady progress towards Falmouth. The wind is expected to cone from the West for thenext 48hrs so we are hopefull of further big mileage.

Till Tomorrow
