A more positive update this afternoon for you all!
Our pilot Stuart has been in touch to say that we should be able to swim in the early hours of Saturday morning, and we mean early at 12.30 am! Obviously this is very exciting news for us all and we are heading back to Kent tomorrow morning to sort everything out and get a few hours sleep before we attempt the swim. The change in the weather really has been the most incredible stroke of luck, and fingers crossed it does what the weather charts say it is going to do. At present therefore we are very pleased to inform everyone that the 4 of us should be swimming on Saturday 1st September!
Amy and Josie went for a quick training session in a pool this morning to keep themselves ticking over, and Alice, who remained in Kent, went swimming in the sea again on Tuesday evening labelling it a very pleasant experience with 'positively balmy' water! Amy and Josie compensated for swimming in what seemed like a try warm pool by showering in the cold shower afterwards!
Today all of us will be repacking our stuff and alternating eating lots of carbohydrates and sleeping!
Thank you to everyone for all your support over the last few days when we have all been feeling a bit low and frustrated with the situation, all the positive words and support we have received has made a difference.
We will keep you updated on any changes and post on here when we are actually leaving for the swim - until then it is fingers crossed all round!
