Oh well, Dan was meant to go across at 2am today, but forecasts of force 5-6 winds later on meant a postponement till tomorrow. He spent the morning bobbing around in the water acclimatising. I was wetsuited, and when I stopped to talk to him, I was getting cold within 5 mins, but he was completely comfortable. Fingers crossed he gets away tomorrow.
Another guy I know doing a wetsuited A2A was pulled 2 miles from the French coast on Saturday due to breathing problems. Sad news, he'd put in a great run to Dover and was making good time. He'd swum about 38 miles though, strong tides.
