Cabin time over // Day 19 & 20

Monday, February 8, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized

Yesterday was very frustrating for Quincey as he had planned to get stuck into getting the boat back in rowing shape but the weather did not ease enough. He therefore spent another very frustrating day in the cabin.

Today Shaun woke quite positive as the seas had died down substantially. He spent the morning fixing his steering and getting the sea anchor untangled and then got on the seat at about midday. Rowing south, he slogged away all afternoon and achieved some reasonable progress as the seas continued to ease. He is now feeling extremely excited about the next few days as he pushes to half way.

February 9, 2010 - 7:47 am Maki - Woohoo, 'pushing on to halfway', that's what we like to hear! This is going to make the wickedest book. There's a slab of good kiwi beer with your name on it in our fridge - keep rowing! xxx

February 9, 2010 - 2:58 am Red Dogg Roberts - Quincey - Even with all that lying around in the boat and telling people you're just "tidying your room" you've managed to move (and sometimes row) the equivalent of the distance between Auckland and Blenhiem (via Taupo)since you left Aus. To be fair I've only worked this out with a ruler held against my computer screen. Obviously total distance is greater. In any event, good going...you probably only get one shot at this. Stay sane!

February 8, 2010 - 9:33 pm Danny Sunkel - Keep it up quincey. One stroke at a time.

February 8, 2010 - 8:46 pm sarah b - Keep it up cousin! I think of you every day!
