Six hours into Toby’s swim and she has just reached the half way mark which puts her on 12 to 13 hour pace. That gives us little chance of John getting an 11.30 pm start tonight.
We would miss the tide by about one to two hours so the likely scenario would be for John to start at 9.30 am tomorrow. This means he loses his crew and he swims on the spring tide, but tomorrow is the pick of the day in terms of the whole time spent in this place.
Once again, we are waiting here bored s...less with nothing to do but play silly little games.
Our B&B hosts cooked me a special breakfast today. Well at least I thought it was until I put my spoon into i . It looked like cake with waffles on top to represent the Sydney Harbour Bridge but underneath the crust was England’s best dish - yes - baked beans .
They took a photo of me at the moment I exposed this meal and much to the delight of al,l I was conned, but Alby will have his revenge.
They call baked beans the English cavier: I have just run out of space......

Hi Alby, I'm a good mate of John Jameson from high school days in Oz and just wanted to wish him all the best for his swim. Unfortunately I can't do this over the phone as I don't have his contact details and he probably wants to focus anyway. Please pass on to him that the difference between making it and not making it will come down to his ticker and not his talent. If he remembers this and all those sick kids in the hospital then he'll beat the Channel.
Cheers, Mark van Fenema
