 Just after the start 
 |

| 
 Wearing our best cow kit 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 The view gets rather monotonous 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 This was on a calm day 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Oh look - a blade! That's exciting. 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Nice colour, though 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Fabulous sunsets 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Wow!

 Clint rowing (obviously)

 You have to cope with rocking and rolling

 Who needs level hands when you dom't have a level sea?

 Gloves were worn for the first 2 weeks 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 ... which successfully prevented blisters 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Sun hats are important 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 ... in creating arty shots 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 The hats were donated by Godfrey Rowsports 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 A "distant" tanker 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 This was taken quite early on, judging from the pale skin and liberal use of suncream 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 The aspect of ocean rowing the media are most keen on 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Quick pause for a drink of water 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Are you still there? 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Not much room in this cabin 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 ...or at this end 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Waiting out a storm 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Note pink cushtie! 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 |

| 
 Well, it makes a change from the office, anyway 
 | 
 
 
 |

| 
 Follow the stroke cycle 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Hands unusually level 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Circling the finish as the waves dictate 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Forget everything you ever knew about left in front of right 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 This is a serious business 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 One of the blades has already gone 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Reach out.... and repeat c.1.5 million times 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Even in good seas you roll around 
 |

 You're not having fun, are you, Chris?

 Hands in a good state despite being pretty wet

 Clint's famous infected toe

 Support yacht Aurora drops by 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 ... and takes the photo that appeared on the website on Christmas Day 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 The object in his right hand is a scraper for removing barnacles from the bottom 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 .... of the boat, obviously 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Great White?

| 
 Over exposed?

 Clint is a man of many talents... 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 ... but beard-growing isn't one of them.

 Salman Rushdie goes ocean rowing 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 These cow print tops are so comfortable 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 ... and the accessorise really well with tinsel 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Does my beard look big in this? 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Christmas Tree 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 and tinsel 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 We never bothered taking this down, actually 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Those famous buckets, plus a related accessory 
 |

 Clint sits down for a Christmas lunch 
 | 
 
 
 |

 Chris can't work out where the chestnut stuffing is 
 |

 A whale

 Same whale again

 It had never met a sea cow

 Rough and grey

| 
 You can't see the real horizon when it's like this 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 ... and are trapped in quite a small watery world 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Up and down 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 The colours changed but there was always just sea and sky 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Big rolling swells 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 ... that go on and on 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 ... and on 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Water, water everywhere 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Frothy 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 ... and still no horizon 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Ever changing but always the same 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Here's a version with a bluer sky

 Cobbling the shoes back together - literally

 In another bowl of sea

 | 
 
 | 
 
| 
 Sliding along the waves 
 |

 ... for days on end

 A view out over the stern
