This week, on week to go, we're off back down to Dover. We are staying just north in the quiet town of Deal. The pilot recoemmended I was around a few days before and a week or so after so of there is a chance to get away, then we'll be ready to go. Most of the tides next week are early (highs at 0130 to 0430), so a night swim is looking likley, as we should set off 2 hours before high tide. Sponsorship has been rolling in ata good rate, we are nearly at 4k now, and the 'guess the time' book nearly full. Both extremes here - I have a 7 hrs 30 and a 17 hrs on the list. To be honest, I'd be happy with the 17.
Also exciting news, I have been invited up to Rock FM this morning, so should be able to give a good plug.
I also did a 'farewell' swim in the reservoir yesterday morning, and was treated to pouring rain for the experience and fond memories :)
