Thanks for all the messages! I made it to France, to the light house, in 10:13 or 10:16. I left some skin on the rocks for good measure. I was seasick about 3 hours in and left some snacks for the gulls and fishes. Felt much better after that. Crew was seasick with me. I am safe and happy. A good hot bath is in order.
Thanks so much to Chris and his crew and my crew for sticking it out with me when the going got tough and we all had our doubts. Thanks to everyone I met on the beach this week, Freda, Barry, Irene, Louise and Cliff, Bill and Audrey at the Victoria Guest House and the Connecticut crew.
Now I know a little something about the Channel and I'm looking forward to taking the ferry next time.
I forgot who told me about the peppermint tea this week... it was my savior.
Cheers,
Dori

Bravo, Dori! What a great swim! Just watching the video made me feel seasick and cold. But you overcame the elements and swam the English Channel. I'm proud to know you.
