Looks like SuperCaz is underway, her boat Optimist is anyway,it set off in the early hours of this morning. no updates on FB as yet though. if anyone notices any can they shout here or start a new thread please?
Looks like I am all alone at Thorpe tomorrow, well with people I know I'm sure there will be others there, but if anyone fancies a dip be good to have some company for the post swim coffee. Today's downpours will no doubt make it a murky and slightly cooler one.
Who knew the channel was sponsored my Mr Potato Head and Carrots I always thought it was cheese
TB, quite simply I don't have another 6k to spend, so I won't be doing any Channel swimming next year. It's not an option even if I was interested, which I'm not
Nearly £3k for the single, plus all the additional costs - hotels, travel, massage, kit, access to the pool etc... so I estimate about £6k total for the single

boat tracker is here http://cspf.co.uk/tracking#
Happy swimming SuperCaz
Facebook message says its not her. She declined the slot to a stronger swimmer because of the weather. Hold tight.
Is any one going to Bossie tonight?
Going to Penn Flash tonight....with my new Pirate cap!!
Think I passed you at Bossie buttercup, and another pirate as well not sure who JPG?. Did 5 laps in the best swim conditions this year. lovely swim.
Oh and good luck to Caz, hope she is going for it.
SuperCaz started her Channel swim at 06.15 this morning, looks to be going well.

I've been following her progress all day. She's doing fabulously well. Orsum swimming Caz
I have been following Caz too. Amazing
Yeh, I want her to do it again cos nobody at work objected to me watching the tracker all day instead of doing propper work.
I hope she knows how many working hours she stopped today Even my boss asked me how she was doing this afternoon
Mathschick are you open water at Colwick this Wednesday?
No Chris I am still on holiday. We come back on Sunday so probably next week. Will you be around then or are you heading off on hols?
Soupy, I am NOT doing it again. Or the double.
Well you say that now but what if I temp you with a scubby snack or a raw potato?
I just came back from hols so I will be around next week, enjoy the rest of your hols!
SuperCaz you is my hero
Raw potato did you say, Cake? Does it come with a raw carrot too?
Chris I'll confirm next week when I know if OH will be home from work in time for me to come out!
Raw potato

Cake and I seem to have the same taste in unusual foods
As your not doing IT again or the DOUBLE, does that mean its the triple next time Caz ....
No i've eaten all the carrot's. IF you can wait a month or so there should be some more
