CHANNEL SWIM UPDATE - 03:00


Switched swimmer to coenie. Paul reported water to be relatively warm and really enjoyed the session. He said he hit a bit of seaweed and almost jumped aboard!

We are using torches to communicate with the swimmer, indicating 20min 40min and then 1min to go.

The swimmer has 2 zylumes (glow sticks) tied to his waist and a flashing head light. The swimmer stays about 6meters from the boat alongside/middle of boat.

Matt has hit the sack to get some kip before his session.

I am waiting for our observer to nod off...seems he was dragged out of the pub to monitor our swim!

Pictures are pointless in the dark...will try when it get light.

Observer did just drift off...yes that is him in the pic!
