Just to let you know we arrived back in the UK safely this morning.

The event was amazing and it was fantastic to spend such an exciting time with my two boys (yes 8 year old Jack decided to come along at the last minute).

We completed the trip in 15 days, four hours, 16 minutes and one second, clocking up 5,942km. We had some really scary moments and saw lots of amazing sunsets, sunrises, dolphins, flying fish etc.


We started the event just for the challenge of crossing the Atlantic and to raise money for charity, but within 7 days the racing bug kicked in and we decided to go full out to get a good result. In the end we crossed the finishing line first in our class of boat and 2nd in our division, plus as a team raised a lot of money for various charities. Although we have stopped taking donations over the phone (now that the event has finished), you can still donate online for "Water in Africa" at http://www.justgiving.com/steve-bennett0.



Anyway, back in the business today and lots of great and exciting things happening at Rocks TV over the next 4 weeks.

Have a great Christmas and happy New Year
Steve
 
Huge congratulations Steve on the race and raising a lot of money for charity.

Sarah will be so pleased to have her boys back home safe and sound.
 
Very well done to the Bennett boys! Good to hear you had a successful and challenging trip..it sounds like an adventure of a lifetime. Happy Christmas and New Year to you all. love Hollywood x
 
Many, many congratulations to you all. Firstly for finishing in one piece and with the same number that started!!!! Secondly for winning your boat class - what an achievement!!!!!. Thirdly for raising all that money for your charity!!!!

What an exciting adventure - you do realise that you've probably planted the seed in Jack now - he has a fair few years ahead of him in which to plan and complete many more adventures - you will be grey before your time, Steve.

Sarah must be hugely relieved to have you all home, safe and sound, and enormously proud of you all.

WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!! :mysmilie_696: :mysmilie_696: :mysmilie_696:
