English Channel attempt in July

G'day,
To those of you I know, I've set this up to document some of the stuff you might like to keep track of as I attempt to swim the English Channel in July this year (2011). To all others - welcome to my mid life crisis.
My tide window is 7th July to 18th July.
Pop back from time to time and come July I hope we can keep you up to date during the swim. On the right is a link to my Twitter feed which we expect to be able to update during the swim. If you also sign up to Twitter it's probably the best way to send messages on the big day. I'd sure love to get a few!
I will also post some blogs in the lead up to keep you all informed on likely swim day and time.
I've trained hard and met some fantastic people on the journey - I cant believe how generous everyone has been with time, advice and support - my plan is to make you all proud.
Most of all thanks to Caren (I adore you), T and Lucy for putting up with a mostly absent husband and father for the last year. Big expensive make up holiday in France and Spain coming soon. Lucky I know how to save on the ferry ticket!

Thanks everyone, AV.

update ...cross bay swim

The weather gods for the weekend seem a bit upset so the skipper and I have bought the swim forward one day.  We now leave tomorrow night and the swim will start at 1am Friday from Indented Head. The winds predicted for Friday are pretty good .

Unfortunately Paul cannot get away from work committments so has had to pull out, but Mike and I will give it our best and know he will be with us in spirit. 

Thanks to all who have changed their schedules to be involved.

cheers
AV
