HELEN CALLING

We have, at last, had a phone call from Helen (even if it was 5am) she sounded in good spirits. She was shaken by the knockdown that occured on the 1st. May but she is fine now. Although they are now having to row with 3 sliding seats and 1 fixed seat, we think it must be a race to get to position and the loser gets the fixed seat. They reckon rowing like this sucks!! Land support are now appealing for family/friends to send a message to Helen and the crew to show support. Don't forget the website is www.piraterow.com to get the latest news and tracking. They are now starting to overtake some of the other boats and closing in on the rest. Today is day 9 and they have 2688 nm to the finish!!!!!!!!!!!
