We are delighted to say that Helen will be arriving in Mauritius around 7pm local time which is approx 4pm GMT. They are at present 28 miles out and rowing like madmen/women to make it back before dark and to celebrate Simon girlfriend's Charlie's 21st birthday which is today. Happy birthday Charlie!!!
Last minute preparations are now being made at the local yacht club to celebrate their arrival. TV crews are on standby and boats being ordered to go and greet them once they have passed the finish line.
EXCITING OR WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All friends and relatives are frantically buying goodies for the crew to enjoy and we have champagne on ice.
This will be the last blog from us and we will hand back to Helen to update you further.
We personally would like to thank all friends, family and all for their fantastic support over the past few months. It has been a comfort to know so many people have been looking out for her.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
PS Happy 50th birthday Lynda - have a drink when we get back.

About Me

- In April 2009, i will be attempting to become the first female to cross the Indian Ocean. I am going to have to endure intense and unpredictable weather conditions and overcome mental and physical exhaustion for 50 days. All this in an eight with 7 people i have never met before. This blog is going to follow my efforts in getting to the start line and hopefully throughout the race. First challenge - sponsorship!
