Contrary to belief fostered by the GPS locator, we are not all at 150 foot on a huge billionaire gin palace - instead was sleeping (!) and then had to find a French 3G signal...but now we are far enough past the separation zone, we are back in touch!
Andy - in strict rotation - took the first swim. It was in the pitch dark starting at 03:06. He had 2 green light sticks - one on his googles and one hanging from his trunks. Quite a sight when he turned to relieve himself on the shore!! But with no heat of the sun, Andy could only enter the cold, dark water and push out for France, creating his own heat as he swam.
Andy says of his first swim: First 4 mins it was hard to get my bearings and get into a rythm. Very pleased to get out now. Felt like I was following the cliffs one second and then seemed to have drifted the other way. Jumping in initially was very disorientating and my feet hit the bottom. When asked about wh so far from the boat Andy said "I swam in straight line its the boat that went off course :-D" the cold water on the legs was refreshing. First time they have felt cool all day."
