Second Boat Swim

On Tuesday evening we embarked on our second and last boat swim before the actual channel swim which is coming around very fast.  We all met again at Titchmarsh Marina, jumped aboard the Misty Lady where Terry and Sue greeted us. After about 30 mins Rog gave us the signal to get ready and a quick reminder on what we should be doing unlike our last boat swim where we went off in all directions!

We all jumped in the cold water together and swam for about 20 mins then 3 got out and 3 stayed in and then changed over.  We also all had to swim individually for around 8 mins so we could practice the change over.  After another de-briefing from Rog, we had another group and solo swims to do.

Thanks again to Terry and Sue as we abandoned them on the boat because a low tide was preventing the boat getting back to the mooring..... We hope they got back eventually?!!
