We did it and it was hard!!

We started as a four and ended as a three. In fact the journey can be described as a series of disasters!

* It was the worst weather in the Atlantic for 200yrs, including 2 tropical storms and a hurricane.
* We almost capsized.
* Our rudder broke off the back of the boat.
* Huge waves broke 3 oars.
* Our watermaker stopped working and we lived on rainwater we caught in bowls and buckets for a week.
* Jo got off the boat so we were disqualified.
* January was one great big grey cloud with torrential rain flooding hatches and damaging food. We lived on 3 dehyrdated meals and a square of chocolate whilst rowing 16hrs a day!
* And finally....WE WERE ATTACKED BY A SHARK!!

We made it across alive, out of 26 boats 19 capsized and 6 didn't come back up again. Nobody died.

Wow what a journey. I'll blog the diary entries of our journey so you can read all about our exploits.
