Counting Down the Hours

January 25, 2026

Arrived in Nelson’s Dockyard today, and what a place. 

Standing here, taking in these views, the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. You can feel the history in every beam, every stone, every ripple on the water.


Bernie and I are now counting down the hours.


Tomorrow, The Three Flying Fish row into this iconic harbour — completing the Atlantic, the world’s toughest row.

Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it.


What a moment this will be for them… and for all of us cheering them home.
