Day 47
Mum has been nagging me for another photo of myself for quite a while now, so here you go. I took this a few days ago when the weather was not so good.
Today has been a nice day for progress which is always good. I decided it was time to take a dip in the big blue today. Out came the mask and flippers and I jumped in. I did have a rope with me that I'd attached to the boat. The bottom of the boat was very clean with only a little bit of growth on. The International Paints anti foul is working well.
Someone asked me what my stroke rate was. To be honest I'm not sure but I would say somewhere around 20. Whilst rowing last night I saw an amazing shooting star fly right across the sky. I did make a wish but I can't tell you what it is as it will not come true then! Have started to notice the weight that I've lost. Certainly am a little thinner now.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

PS your text message capability (via iridium)on the web site is not working, so cannot send messages directly to you. It says the number is invalid. Hope that does not mean you are devoid of any messages - that would be tough.

when texting on james` website the maximum no of characters you can use is 160 including spaces, which equals 3 lines, any more than this and it will not send. I am trying to keep him up to date with comments made on woodvale site as james is unable to access it. Hope this info helps you to contact him and huge thankyou to all his supporters.
