Jack here - I'd have to say it's me, which is good because it makes me the de facto Captain of this here ship

Isaac here - We've seen lots of dolphins, a turtle, squid and fish (and caught three), but I'd have to say the most mindblowing encounter was swimming with five or six Common Minke whales. It really makes the whole thing worth while! Jack got woken up by a flying fish slapping his face. Technically, he didn't see it, so it may be the sleep deprivation and exhaustion speaking!

Cam here - our ocean rowing boat is extremely stable and as long as most of the weight is as low as possible, we should be able to avoid capsizing (famous last words!). The boat is also self righting so she'll come back up if she rolls over. We are fully self sufficient and carry a water maker, all our food and medical supplies. If something goes wrong, the race organisers have two support yachts - usually one at the back of the fleet and the other moving up through the fleet - but help can be two or three days away.

Isaac here - we listen to music, podcasts and messages from family and friends. We talk to each other - one of our friends sent in some questions as conversation starters. Things like: Would you rather have massive hands and a tiny head or a massive head and tiny hands... We also have a book with messages from our supporters - and a reminder of why we started the row in the first place! Here's a link to the book: http://www.blurb.co.uk/b/9080824-keep-on-rowing
