Triumph!

The newest member of the Channel club
This is another short post to mark another Channel swim. This time it’s Chris, my fellow Gozo swimmer, who has today completed the crossing in an excellent time of 13 hours 33 minutes. Massive congratulations to him for a well deserved success. This man has been completing 7 and 8 hour swims in Dover harbour since the end of June!

That’s 3 of our Swimtrek group to have attempted the swim now, not including our guides Nick Adams, who smashed the swim in 10 hours 22 minutes, and Karen Throsby, who conquered the Catalina Channel in 14 hours 11 minutes.

We have managed 2 successes so far, and one heroic failure (not that failure feels like the correct word). Just 3 more of us to go in the next few weeks, the pressure is well and truly on…
