Thank you so much for all the kind words. This swim was not an easy one for me and Mikee did a wonderful job representing the swim. Thank you Mikee for the beautiful video.
Mark - Thank you for the lovely music. It added just the right back drop for Mikee's work.
Congratulations. A solid effort, and you dealt with worsening conditions well. From someone who knows how tough it is to get your head around turning around and swimming into the night, I know that no matter what you may be thinking now...you'll be back. It's an addiction with no cure.
BTW...Mikee...You'll have a hard job to top this 1...It's got everything...Drama,Human endurance,Music...Top Quality Matey...BTW...Do you still eat all the Sandwiches?...LOL...
Now then! Now then! Now then!...This is what it's all about...Freedur Neet!...Beer,Blaw and the 1st vid of yhe new swim season...Verdict...Fantastic...Much respect to Michelle...Well done Gal...Respect to yourself Mikee for the excellent Vid and observational skills!...LOL...and who could forget the Fantastic music of Mark...Well done Guy's...
you know this was always my dream...i was too scare to attempt it lol..xx wonderful vid hun ..was here earlier ..thought i commented it obviously didnt go through lol xx
you know hun maybe in my younger days lol..i had a fear of water and over come it ...it was always my dream to swim the channel..xx xx never say never i suppose ...xx hugs n thx u
thank you Wayne mate.. this is what i do in the summer... sailing on the flood tides and observing swims on the neap tides,, loads of last years video on monelloswim channel.. loads to come this summer.. you can be grateful i won't be singing all summer.. lol thank you for you comment dear boy... you are always welcome.. mikee ;-}~
Absolutely incredible to watch!! Way to go Michelle!!!! Mikee love the way you put together this video and Mark's music is perfect for it! Looking forward to seeing more of these!!
Good idea to put in the tidbits of knowledge to help drive home what a grueling feat this is. Those last couple of miles must feel like trying to swim thru thick porridge.
You can get a ferry you know....Congratulations. That must take real dedication! The type I hope I never have. An amazing achievement!! Well done. Did anyone give her a lift back.... It is France after all.... Andy
Wow what an accomplishment by Michelle. Great video Mikee, looks like all had a good time on the boat. I have a hard time making it to the other side of the jacuzzi, especially with a glass of merlot in my hand. Thanks for sharing and using my music, I knew this long instrumental would find a home somewhere. Mark
Hey that's right, I played this song for what like over 16 hours or more, man my fingers are really sore...LOL! I think I'll take a dip in the pool, swim a lap or maybe a half a lap and then go hit the merlot.
60 strokes a minute! And that's not taking into account the weather conditions;the treachorous undercurrents;the cold.
This lady should be proud of what she achieved.Swimming the English Channel is no mean feat.The music was beautiful too.Loved the info parts you gave.Fab video.
You're very welcome Michelle with a last name that is very similar to my own. You are the true talent in this wonderful video as this feat is seldom accomplished by even those with most sincere aspirations. I was humbled when Mikee chose my instrumental to be the backdrop for you truly remarkable achievement. Wishing you much success with your future endeavors, but most of all sincere peace in knowing your accomplishments. Mark
Always enjoy these vid's Mikee! Great stuff! Just wonder if you ever tell em' to 'get on with it, it's bloody cold on this boat! Can't you go faster? lol. How super fit these people must be! Inspiring stuff mate! Most enjoyed! Cheers!
Well done
and Congratulations to you Michelle.

you know if you really want to do this and you feel you are a good swimmer i can advise you..
Firstly a lot of the swims are relays with 4 or so swimmers...
they each swim in turn for exactly one hour in strict rotation!! you could try that to start with, but Alex.... a solo swim is something else..
More people have climbed Everest than have swum the channel...
if you really are interested contact me
