Slim Chance

Tomorrow is the last day of John’s window and the American girl, Toby, who is No. three, has chosen to start her swim at 8.30 am on Thursday. If she can swim it in less than 10 hours, there will be enough time for John to head off late in the evening, but if she doesn't come back in time, John will have to wait until the following morning to start his swim without his crew and on a spring tide .

We are all booked to head home and he is cutting it fine. It looks like an uphill battle. The weather has been terrible with strong winds and heavy rain and adding in the Dover factor, it hasn't been much fun.

It’s been great to have Andrew, Carl and Noel to keep me company and to keep me sane. You can't get your hopes up around here because that wind just keeps coming back, so fingers crossed that there is still a little light in the tunnel .

P.S Terry: Dover won’t win the World Cup, but they might win the FA Cup
