Just finished talking to Cathi again.
Water temp: 64 degrees. Small waves. Pitch dark.
He is swimming at the pace he started at--predicted to finish in another 3 hours---IF he makes Cape GreisNez (spelling?) If he misses that it could add another two hours to the time. He is pushing to make the cape.

Austin Gridley brings you the weather....
Well it looks to be perfectly non foggy, the waters a bit choppy.. but that's not stopping him. He's getting out of the shipping lane, and it's looking quite peachy :)
Well love, we'll wrap up this weather report, I'm Austin Gridley
Signin out
If he doesn't make Cape Gris-Nez, where will he be shooting for?
ReplyDeleteWhy do they start the swimmers so late? It just seems so backwards to me to have him swim so much of the time in the pitch black.
ReplyDeleteSounds like he is doing awesome though!!!
Woohoo Gordon! Keep it up. You're doing awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, about 9 hours of swimming and keeping the same pace. Way to go Gordon! What a stud!
ReplyDeleteSeriously amazing. Someone on the Channel Google Group was asking who was out on Pace Arrow today and I told them it was you. Suzie Dods sends good wishes. Swim like a fish!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Gordon. You've always been a 10. When you get to France eat a nice loaf of french pain for me. I miss it.
ReplyDeleteYou're great! Keep going!
