So that everyone knows, we have been put on alert by the skipper of the pilot boat. We go on Friday 7th or on Saturday 8th @ about 4am due to the tides. We will probably be swimming along the following line due to the currents in the channel, known as the the reverse "S". The team will spend 1 hour in the water and 3 hours in the boat for 12-18 hours covering 35-45km.
The list of items for our swim are packed and checked off. It reads like this
1. Costume, Goggles, Swim Cap (NO Wetsuits allowed)
2. Light Sticks and safety pins (For swimming in the dark)
3. Water and Energy Drinks
4. Snack Bars, Soup and Pot Noodle (The big one)
5. Warm clothes, towels + blankets
6. Sea sickness pills, Nurofen, Immodium and Sun cream
7. Vaseline
Keep your eyes peeled, we will be updating the blog with pics and videos from the boat, as well as GPS readings so you know where we are in the channel. Wish us Luck...
