THEY MADE IT TO FRANCE!

Tim started his second swim at 1:23 PM. Right before Tim got into the water I received a text stating "France looks really big now." About 30 minutes into the swim, at 1:52 PM, Tim was standing on France soil. The swim took 10 hours and 24 minutes, which is a good time. The boat is now on its way back to Dover and is expected to arrive around 4:00. The relay team will make their way to a pub called The White Horse to sign one of the walls (or ceiling) to celebrate their accomplishment. Only those individuals who successfully cross the Channel are allowed to sign the wall.

Congratulations to Joni, Drew, Jim, Mirjana, Tim and Natalie for your success. Also, thank you to Cameron for filming the swim, which included training sessions. Cameron, Jim's youngest son, will be making a video of this noteworthy experience.
