From Martin:
I had a brief talk with Geoff and Pete tonight. Once again they wanted to thank everyone for the messages they have been receiving via the blog, as you can hear for yourself (see below), they both really do enjoy hearing from family and friends. It's a pretty remote place they are at right now, so they get a lot out of your messages.

Pete asked for this special message to be passed on to Masumi: "Thank you to Masumi for her kind words that make my pillow soft every night"

You can download an edited part of that call, if you would like to hear it. The sound quality is not great, since this was via satellite phone, so their voices sound a bit distorted.

As you know, all messages left on the blog are forwarded electronically. The message goes by satellite, and we can only get short messages through. So if you can keep it short, that's a great help.
