We made it!!!
After nearly 2 weeks of delays while the storms blew past and the seas settle, a window in the weather opened and at 02h00 onTuesday morning we entered the water just West of Dover.
Yesterday afternoon, after 13 hours, 8 minutes, we made it and reached France.
I'm no stranger to endurance events, but Jeez this was flippin hard!
I managed to raise over £2000 for the Ichthyosis support Group - may I say a special and really heart felt thank you to the tossers who supported me...
Gordon Millar / Rockchunk
Richard Carpenter / Dickieboy

.. and anyone else I have missed.
Thanks guys I am massively grateful and the charity itself is overwhelmed with the support this has raised. You've made a real difference.
