We did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A stunning crossing with a lovely boat and fantastic support team: the best day of the season - overcast with almost no wind.
As our attempt was delayed by the weather, we were subject to a strong tide, which pushed us past Cap Gris Nez and onto 'Restaurant Beach' - France all the same. Swimmer Number One, Andy C, landed with brother Mike in support at 23.02 BST, the culmination of an epic swim by all six of the team members - all of whom literally swam out of their skins. It's an amazing feeling to swim when there is nothing to stop you, if quite scary when you can't see land.
Total swim time from England to France: 12 hours, 51 minutes and 48 seconds: 12:51:48. More to follow...
Well done Andy, Mike, Ede, Ellie, Tash and (team) Captain Webb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
