Indian Ocean Rowing

Woohooo!!!! At around 1700 hrs today (Mauritius time) a local coastguard patrol plane made contact with the team! They reported back to Tony at race HQ that the boys sounded well and that all crew were safe and then passed on their latest position which sees them at just over 300 nautical miles to go. We all breathed a huge sigh of relief upon getting the call from Tony and can now relax that our boys are well on their way to their incredibly well deserved welcome. A pic from the plane below x
