Good News - Sounds Like Saturday!!

Great news all, it looks like we will be ready for the big off on Saturday morning. As long as the weather holds we are now next in the queue.

It feels quite unreal and I am starting to get excited again.

We have to been down in Dover to start at around 4 in the morning so will be swimming in the dark to start with which will be ace. We have a pretty good tide and the BBC says that the wind will be 2mph which should make it a breeze (geddit??).

Hopefully the good weather will mean that it won't be too chilly.

I'm off now to go and buy some last minute food, pack etc (will I remember the pink trunks??) and shall be up early tomorrow for what will hopefully be a final training session in the river. I'll miss it but not the cold!!

Any more donations are gratefully received here...
