EAST!! // Day 10
Looking at the progress map Shaun finally got taken east last night. He was really positive about this as yesterday he put in some hard slog! He is now approximately 600km east of Australia and so is roughly a quarter of the way! The plan from here is to go slightly more south, around 35deg S, where the winds prevail west.
A quick physical check sees Quincey feeling a 9/10 however the rash on his bum is pretty horrific as is the state of hands which are rather shredded. He also has a solid 2mm growth of beard on his face! And in case you were worried, his gap can still fit a $2 coin!
Unfortunately the weather for the next few days looks fairly average with some strong easterly winds forecast but with the aid of the sea anchor, supplied by W A Coppins Ltd, he shouldn’t be knocked back.

Good morning! This is interesting for sure! Go to go but I will be back (T2 style… if you understand what I mean).
Hi Shaun, your’re doing really well. Perhaps a few days laying around will help your bum heal. (Bum Up)
Trying to imagine you with facial hair…a good start to “Movember” – perhaps some of your suf club mates could grow some to match….yeah right

Great progress Q. You got ahead of the game the last few days so keep your spirirts up if the winds kick in, they’ll pass soon enough and you’ll be heading towards the promised land again at speed !!.
Look after those hands…maybe should’ve taken some meths with you…the old rowers trick to dry them out.

You are doing so well 600 km already. Ian and I check in each day on your progress, we are proud of you, keep it up. Glad you have some company out there! Are you eating cold curry and porridge or how do you heat it? Luv Bron & Collard Clan
