25 Anniversary swim ... 4th of July...MIDNIGHT

OK friends,

I was hoping for a July 4th, Independence Day (25th Anniversary) swim across the English Channel. The weather has changed again, still cooperating, but pushed back to the next high tide... ***I'm really not disappointed, starting at midnight, especially at this time of year, there is only a few hours of darkness, then the rest of the day under beautiful sunlight😀
so here's the plan...
tomorrow, on the 4th of July, I rest and do final preparations with Janet (Jmg Fish)... remember there's at least 12 hours of different feeds to prep and package... lots go into every OWswimmers trip...
we will start around Midnight, the 4th going into July 5th, that's 7 pm for my US East Coast family/friends (if something gets in the way we will probably postpone for another 12 hours and have to swim at noon, on Friday the 5th, just keep checking my blog)... once we start you can follow my progress on ...

    I'm shaking my head in amazement! (At least you won't have to worry about Loch Ness monster.) I surmise that you started more or less as planned. You're on your way -- happy for you!
