so... its just 5 days away now.. and the nerves are starting to kick in... my life has become one filled with obsessively checking the weather, and sea temps.. and wave heights.. all in a vain attempt to try and work out what's what and whether we'll get to go out on the 25th as planned.
Recent bad weather has meant that several other channel attempts by other swimmers have been postponed and moved to other dates.. so fingers crossed we get a nice little window of good weather to see us through!!
I have been frantically making lists and packing up boxes to put in the caravan ready for friday when we will take a slow and steady drive to dover. We have a few friends coming along to see us off (lets hope its not at too unearthly an hour!!) from Samphire Hoe which will be just amazing and will surely result in a very emotional first leg!!
The closer we get to the swim the more I realise what a great crew we have with us on the boat...We both have absolute faith in Emma, Dani, Tracey and Legs and I, for one am looking forward to spending a good few hours in their company!
Just one more pool session at Virgin and then thats it.. rest and eat our way through the weekend.... and (hopefully) then we're off...
Once again, thank you so much for reading our blog and supporting us on this journey... and MASSIVE thanks for every penny that has been donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust ... it really is an amazing charity!
Peace and love and nice calm seas,
Kate xx
That looks a bit wider than the Trent :0)
