The five os us battled sea sickness, saltwater, tides and general fatigue to complete the swim in a very impressive and surprising 10 hours and 50 minutes!
We are all thrilled with the outcome and still can't quite believe it. Having headed back from Kent we are all now on our way to long baths and a very early night.
A longer blog update with how the swim went will be available in the next few days.
Until the a massive thanks to our amazing pilot and crew onboard our boat and to all the support from family and friends over the last week.
We all feel like we have accomplished something truly amazing today and are very proud of our achievement.
For now goodnight, and we promise a longer update shortly!
