And the band plays on...

Mel is hammering along keeping the other boat in sight. We have crossed the no shipping lane and are now in the north bound shipping lane.

Turns out the saffie dropped out and not daisys doggy paddlers. Apparently some poor fool is crossing the channel doing backstroke. Consensus is we would hate to be him.

Beautiful sunshine and the wind is dropping a little here. The tide has changed and the choppy water is starting to flatten out. Still no pics as we cant seen to send em. Keep the support coming!

It looks like that S-effect is starting to take you off the course of the Channel Tunnel. Keep at it!

according to measurements taken off my screen and the scale supplied, your team only have approx 12.3kms remaining til your knees hit french sand :)

keep paddling. you're doing fantastic.....

ps. - for george. for little extra power & speed, superglue your toes & fingers together. can cut apart with scalpel afterwards.
