The two boats in the Virgin GB Row round-Britain race are anchored near Land’s End.

The all-girl crew 'SeaGals' are sitting out the weather 500metres from the beach in a sheltered cove, about a mile south of Land’s End, where they can clearly be seen from the shore.

The men’s team, the 'Misfits', onboard Orca are at anchor about two miles off St Levan after reducing the Seagals’ lead from 50 miles to just a couple of miles.

With winds on the north coast blowing from the north east at up to force five, the crews have decided to conserve their energy until the weather improves before pushing on towards the Irish Sea.

Both crews have rowed more 450 miles since the race began at Tower Bridge on June 1. They are now more than two days behind the world record time set in 2005.

The Anglo American Challenge is a non-stop row circumnavigation of Great Britain (GB) that will see teams race for the ultimate accolade, First Place and possibly a new World Record.  The main aim of the expedition is to raise money and profile for some very worthwhile charities - the 2005 event raised £277,530 for charity.

This year, both teams are raising money for Help the Heros. To sponsor your favourite team visit the Anglo American Boat Race website
