Six months ago I got confirmation from Dovetail that they would sponsor me the initial deposit for my pilot boat. At that point, by Channel swim attempt really took off.
With my date window of 18-20 August, it's almost unbelievable to acknowledge that there is now only six months to go until I get into the water at Dover and begin that attempt!
My training period has 50% expired, and whilst I know I have improved incredibly as far as my swimming and mental preparation go, there is still an equally long way to go before I am ready.
What is truly ironic is the knowledge that the next half a year will fly past in a whirl... and that the 16 hours in the sea will seem like six months!
