Congratulations on a race well sailed. We were sure you would miss Hawaii and that Oz would be the first land you found. Hope you are up for twilighting next week. Look forward to seeing you when you get home.

Subject: Congrats! Well done boys..

Bet that makes going around the cans in the harbour seem a tad dull!
I note the Tow Truck is on the list for Southport next week - you guys are suckers for punishment.
Great to see everyone smiling, drinking, and in one piece, including the Krak herself. Just fold her up and bring her back on the plane.
Roddy looks a lot like Grizzly Adams, hope that works!!
See you for a beer and stories.

Incredible feat, well done guys. We have been following you on the Web site the whole way. Sorry Michelle and I can't make it to Hawaii to celebrate with you, so we will tip one for you here in California. Miss Leslie should be over to celebrate with you all. Cheers! Nigel and Michelle Kent

Well done

I'm sure that local rum has provided endless entertainment and a very dusty feeling.

Pat gave me a call.

Hey big brother

Congratulations on getting there and living your dream. I have been watching the whole way. Glad you and the boat made it in one piece and that you didn't get lost. Can't wait to hear all the stories and see the photos!

Congratulations, a splendid Aussie Effort. Love the Boxing Kangaroo. Have watched the reports everyday and can't wait to hear all the stories. Glad the boat made it in one piece and you are all still sane. Enjoy the cocktails!

Lads,

Roddy, well done, mission accomplished.

Go find the local equivalent of the Muddy Pyjamas and get amongst it. No need to hold back youve just crossed the Pacific.

And as the Reverend says "Haleluya" "Praise the Lord" the boys are home.

Well done and see you when you get back.
Patto and Philbs, Chris and I will be up at South West Rocks fishing when the Southport is on, give us a call as you go past and well come out and say hello. Go the Tow Truck.

Subject: Pato and Brett - next year

Nice Job Guys! What a neat effort! I mean, like, totally awesome, dudes! But hey, which one of you was the 19 y.o. girl you said you were taking next time?? Or was Brett living his dream of being a 19 y.o. boy again? Stoked! But are you guys like, ready for next year? Will we even need a chart? Totally killer dudes!

Hope you received the earlier congratulations from us that were posted on the message board soon after you called yesterday. You deserve all the accolades. It's a mighty little boat that's for sure and the crew aren't too bad either!

We look forward to having a long chat with you when you return to Sydney - can't wait till we get home in August to hear about it.

The photographs showed you as a very dark grizzly bear - poor Susan. But I bet you are all enjoying the parties that are going on now.

Best wishes to the crew and a great hug for you and Susan. Love Mum and Dad.

Well done Rod and crew - it was great watching your progress especially the last 24 hours - it must have been a lot of fun pushing hard into the finish. Looking forward to catching up soon.
