The 2.5 years of planning, early mornings and cold swims are about to come to an end. We leave this weekend for Dover to begin the waiting for good weather. Eliz should arrive on Sunday while I will spend a couple days in London before heading down to Dover on Wed. As is frequently said, it is the journey that is important and it has been a memorable journey. Now it is approaching time to finish the journey by climbing up on the shores of France.
I am not sure how easy it will be to access the internet while in Dover but I will post on this blog (possibly via the Twitter window on the upper right) updates including the announcement of the day I will get the opportunity to give the Channel a go at it. Our official tide window is July 19-27. I am currently in the number 3 slot on Ali's boat ROCO. Just below the Twitter feed on the right are links to AIS tracking website for both my boat and Eliz's. It should allow you to track us once we are underway.
Wish us favor of the Channel weather gods!
Thank you for sharing your story.
