Tobeys Channel Swim!

posted August 10, 2008 @ 8:26 PM | Open Water Swimming category

Our friend Tobey Saracino will attempt her very first crossing of the English Channel. Aside from being a test of will, endurance, and fitness, swimming the Channel is also a battle against hypothermia since the average temperature this time of year is only around 58-62 degrees fahrenheit. Wish Tobey luck and follow her quest to conquer the Channel!

Hey Dean,

I put together a blog and thought I would send you the link.

Read Tobey's Blog.

I hope all is well. We leave this Saturday. Very excited! Can't wait to get over there.

Take it easy,

Tobey

Details - 2008 English Channel Crossing:

Second Neap Tide in August (Wave 2: August 21-28)

3rd in Queue (Third person to swim off my boat)

Pilot: Reg Brickell

Boat: Viking Princess

Excited about: Climbing up the shores of France for my very first visit there!

Nervous about: Weather conditions. The first wave of August (August 6-15) has had gale force winds and only one person got out (Dori Miller from Boston MA. Finished in 10 hours and 16 minutes)

Ready to swim!!!
