Next in line

Finally, after two long weeks, about 10 boats left Dover for Frogland and John has a slim chance to go late tonight or tomorrow morning. It is more than likely to be in the morning which is fine, but his crew will be packing to head off home. In the event that John leaves in the morning, I have organised a back up support crew so he should be OK.

Noel left today to help support the American, Vince, because he also has run out of time. We are heading to the supermarket shortly to buy John’s food and anything else he needs for his attempt.

This morning, I met Charlie on the beach and he will make his attempt in the morning. Finally Black Ice have met a swimmer who has also climbed Mt Everest and he has agreed to be interviewed on swimmers profile. It will be very exciting to hear what he has to say because I have been asked many times by people which of the two is harder. Finally we will have the answer. We will receive regular updates during the day so I will try to keep everybody informed .
