Live-blogging the crossing

1323: Back at the hotel. Swim did not go well. A measly 4.6km over 2:31. 13C water temp and hug swells combined to give me nausea and the unstoppable shivers. A good puking session on the boat ride back took care of one problem, and Dr. Oleysa, chiropractor extraordinaire on my crew, massaged blood back into my extremities. Full write up after my visit to the sauna. (BTW, internet on the boat was crap (2G!), so my son switched to updating FB on his phone.)

25 Sept, 0510: On the boat! We are currently at 42.44979N 076.20469E

23 Sept: Friday will be the day. It starts at 05.00 when we load the boat. That’s 17.00 Thursday for my eastern time zone reader(s); 14.00 Thursday for those in California. That should be when my son starts blogging here. My swim should start around 07.00. My boy will update this post with my location and anything else blog-worthy.

I’ll take this time now to thank all my volunteers. I could not have done this without you. Thank you. Спасибо. Рахмат.
