Erden,
The F/B Ch 52 is around the equator, and 145E so it can reach you
soonest.
Then it can tow you towards the F/B Prim Rose, current position 02S;
145E.
If you have made your decision send me mail or better call my phone.

To all of you
I just landed in Paris.
Erden, frankly every time i turn my back you take strange
decisions .... :-)))))
Erden, the forecast is a mess, one day good the next bad.
You' ve broken the record anyway, and your story is already written
in gold letters in the sailing history, it's a wise decision. Better
to celebrate heroes when they are alive.
Gus, Frannie, and all the Frabelle family and specially the
crews at sea, you are everyday heroes as well of an untold story ,
and I thank you deaply for showing that seamanship solidarity is a
reality . I owe you a big party in Manila when I am coming in June.
Well, it's the biggest catch of the season for frablle 250 kilos in
one piece .... to be in the records book as well.
All the best, Erden, I see you in Istanbul I guess .
Philippe
Quoting Augusto Natividad:
Erden,
Based on our telecom & email, we have just given instruction
Champion 52 to sail towards your current location. It is sad you end
this trip but we're happy you are ending safe. Welcome to join our
crew. We'll keep in touch regarding your disembarkation plans.
Have a restful weekend.
Gus

Philippe,
Yes, we are all family and we all share our love for the sea for
different reasons but all for a common good.
We are just happy that we are part of sea rowing history.
