And on the 39th day, the SALTY SAPPERS arrived.

Between 6pm and 7pm GMT the boys will be pulling into English Harbour.

The boys are days from landfall! They are very tired, some sore backsides 🍑 but morale is still high as they come closer to seeing their loved ones in English Harbour this week!

WILDLIFE WATCH! 🦦🦧

However rare, it’s probably not the first wild-Mancunian to be spotted in the Atlantic!!
