The excitement.....the countdown

5 sleeps to go..........

Lots more sponsors coming in which is totally awesome. Maps highlighted, snacks bought, packing started but most importantly Martha ready!

We have so many people to thank this week 
Comrie Garage have been totally awesome, they are always so busy with customers as they do such a fantastic job but they managed to do a great thorough job on little Martha, we cannot thank you enough 
Black and Williams and Abhaile for their generous sponsorship and car stickers.... It is indeed Jo and Angie's epic road trip.
Sailingfast , Suppliers of specialist sailing spares and equipment, and in our opinion 'best friends' in the dinghy park as they have the 'bits' (and usually some great advice and help too) to fix the boat and on the water again FAST have generously donated today.
ScottishSoup.co.uk, very yummy soups and pretty easy to pass off as home made - not that anyone would ever do that!!!  have also generously donated.

A mention should also go to Drew Sneddon (map reader extraordinaire) for his patience with his daughter (Angie) while route planning this morning. Sign of age when father and daughter are fighting over the magnifying  glass to read the map! 

Well, Mrs Sarah Milford, your are on our speed dial for translation purposes! Thank you so much for translating our accommodation information and most importantly organising 'a resting place' for Martha. Merci mon amie x 

Thanks also to the 'mystery' lady who stopped Jo in the street and asked her 'are you the crazy lady in the paper doing the rally' then paid Jo £10 for an autograph! ( what is it they say, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story) .... So she maybe didn't buy an autograph but did donate a tenner! 

Not had my Friday glass of wine yet so will sign off now but check in soon....
