Swim is set for Thursday

This is Jeanne, Jim's wife. Everyone arrived in Dover Monday afternoon. Joni, Drew, and Tim were able to get in a swim yesterday afternoon. All 6 of the relay team members swam about an hour this morning. I heard complaints, not about the water temperature, but about the jellyfish. I don't think anyone was stung but they felt the jellyfish through their fingers, on their legs, arms, and around their body. All were pleased with their swim and are ready for the Channel.

At 1:00 this afternoon (Tuesday) the relay team met with Reg, the boat pilot, regarding their swim. Before Reg had arrived for the meeting, he had checked the weather forecast and it looks like the relay will be able to swim the Channel on Thursday, July 1. Joni will be contacting Reg Wednesday evening at 7:00 to learn the time to meet him on Thursday morning but from what we heard today it will be sometime around 2:00 - 3:00 AM (this is 6:00 - 7:00 Pacific time). I will be there along with Carolyn, Natalie's mother. Cameron will be on the boat with the rest of the relay team.

As the relay team is swimming I will be contacted, via text messaging from the boat, regarding who is in the water. I will be sharing comments and messages from the swimmers as I receive them.
