As was evident from the wedding photos, Joe and Bubbles had a wonderful wedding. The arrangements came together well,  with Joe and his best man swimming to the beach for the ceremony. Bubbles looked gorgeous and wore a beautiful veil made by Grandma Morrow’s bobbin lace group! They are staying on the island for their honeymoon and will then return to the UK for Joe to continue preparations for the 2012 London Olympics.

Well the big event has finally arrived, and we have had a lovely day at Joe and Bubbles’ wedding.

Saturday 27 March was our final day on the ocean. As the moon disappeared below the horizon that morning we could see a lightening on the horizon ahead of us which was Antigua!  Click on the photo to read the rest of the today's blog...

We crossed 60 degrees West at 1.45pm GMT yesterday. It was fantastic to be able to bring our final destination up onto the GPS knowing we didn’t have another point to row to after we reached it. Click on the photo to read the rest of the today's blog...

As the Easterly wind became lighter through yesterday afternoon and overnight we lost a little bit of our boat speed. However, it has been another good 24 hour run for us and we should reach 17 degrees North 60 degrees West by 1pm GMT today. Click on the photo to read the rest of the today's blog...

Overnight we have been bombarded with flying fish! Some have flashed in front of us when we have been rowing, others crash landing on deck and flapping around leaving fish scales all over the place. Click on the photo to read the rest of the today's blog...

Rather like Wallace and Gromit trying to take off in their rocket for the moon - it goes better with the hand brake off! Click on the photo to read the rest of the today's blog...

It’s wonderful to see the ‘miles to go’ figure getting smaller at a steady rate. However, the wind has been South Easterly since Friday afternoon into Saturday, making it difficult to go South. Click on the photo to read the rest of the weekend's blog...

Seat belts are on and we are hanging on to our hats! The Easterly wind arrived at the end of the evening and became stronger over night, so we are now moving Westward a good deal faster. Click on the photo to read the rest of the today's blog...
