A Swim in the English Channel

Yesterday was a bright and sunny day in Dover but none of the channel solo/relay swim hopefuls could attempt the English Channel crossing due to high tide. That allowed the boat [Sea Leopard Charter] pilot Stuart Gleeson to make time for taking Angel for a swim in the channel introducing her to rough swimming conditions. She swam 2.6 miles and was fed water while swimming as a training exercise. The waves were high and rough and our boat was tossed around. We saw also dolphins swimming close to her :)Angel had a good time and was smiling. It was our first time going on a boat next to her swimming. We also went to a mobile home park where many channel swimming enthusiasts rent a room. Several swimmers were there for several weeks looking for a good break in the weather to attempt their swim.
