Its a bit of the Thames I have spent many hours trying mot ro swim in (tho I have capsized once just north of there). It looks amazing, though wonder if it is a little my abilities - I could do it with my trusty sort of breaststroke but my crawl will take me all of about 5 meters. You doing it?
KT_Bee-
Yes! I am! @kat is up for it too.
I get the feeling the tide will work in your favour but you should be familiar/confident with wild swimming type action e.g being ok with not having a side to grab onto or being able to touch the bottom? Which I'm guessing you are what with the rowing, right?
