We had a great day getting acclimated to the area.  Our friends Todd and Mary arrived and they will be with us for the duration.  Most importantly, they will be crewing on the boat!  We are planning to meet our boat captain, Eric, tomorrow at 12:00.  I will be very curious to see what he says about the forecast for the upcoming week.  As for the “land” forecast – it looks pretty good between the 8th and the 10th – so I’m hopeful that he will say there is a good chance that I will swim Friday the 10th.  I will post another update after we meet with him.

I had another good swim in the Channel today!  I felt very good in the water and can’t wait to head across rather than up and back along the shore.

We are all having a big time with the new colloquialisms we are learning…

Cheerio!
