More from Dover

Kevin Cassidy checking in from Dover.

Conditions look good for tomorrow morning and the number one in my window has decided to take the opportunity at breaking the current world record. As a result, I won’t be going tomorrow morning.

Mike Oram says that if the record is broken, he will be back in Dover by noon. In this case, I will leave on the 4pm tide and swim into the night….which doesn’t bother me at all.

Failing that, the next chance will be early Saturday morning. Sunday is expected to see a cold front come in with some rougher weather but Monday and Tuesday are looking good.

Today has been a tense day of “what ifs” but I am more relaxed about things now.

Kev
From one broken-down ultra runner to another turned ultra swimmer, good luck for your forthcoming attempt to swim the English Channel. I'll be checking your progress with interest.
