Right ladies and gents... after a full day of bottlooing... we finally managed to get a rythmn going and in a straigt line!! Unfortunately by the end of the day betty the bottloo was showing a few weaknesses so some repairs have been made and the back-up boat will be used tomorow fo allow the sealant to cure. We met some amazingly friendly people on the river today wishing us luck and passing us dontions from the banks! We are not sure how much is in the collection tin now but its looking good!! Its 17hours since we woke and 11 since we set sail.... Tom, Rob and Bob (legendry support team!) Signing off....till tomorow....
