The weather is not cooperating yet and we still don’t have a swim date. The boat captain is hoping for a weather change today and a start of the cycle tomorrow. We are the second in line, with a solo female ahead of us. The captain says our team would only need an 10 hour weather window whereas she will need a 12 hour window, so there is a chance we could jump ahead of her in the queue.
Jim woke Saturday with a stomach flu or food poisoning. By Sunday night we were at the Dover hospital getting him checked out. Although doing much better now,
he still is way below 100% and will struggle to do a full share of the swimming.
We are filling the time with a little exercise and some free time at the Public Houses (also called Pubs). We have a great cottage near the water, but have not gone in yet. John thinks it might psyche him out if the water felt really cold so best to just jump in off the boat and deal with it then. England has great walking trails up and down the coast so we have taken advantage of them.
Hi guys – love the t-shirts and we hope Jim can get back to 100% soon!
Sounds like you guys are having a good time except for the food poisoning. I think it is incredible that you guys can do this. GOOD LUCK and keep posting updates and pictures.
Don’t wear wetsuits they get stuck in my teeth!
COngratulations! Can’t wait to hear a first person account! Looking forward to seeing you all back at the Y!
