Great video again monello, and what a beautifu

day to start the swim, so full of expectations

[EdMuirton]

Can't see it happening mate!

[monelloswim]

hi..he stopped at about 22:45 after 13 odd hours.. the tides change by about an hour a day and the pilot starts the swimmer at the optimum time of the tide regadless of the time of day..

;-}

[monelloswim]

hi ed.. it's about 20 miles as the crow flies, but crows don't swim, you swim much further with the tides.. unofficial record is 6 hours 57 mins !!!

thinking of doing it?

;-}

[monello198]

thanks for the well justified praise my little Scotish tourist.. funny you should mention bars.. why do you think i keep filming all the ferries? they are floating bars passing within a few hundred feet..

lol

Mikee...Once again I gotta say...I enjoy the banter on here...but if I can be serious for a minute these swimming vids are brilliant...Heartbreak and Joy...Better than the Telly...Keep up the good work...I could probably swim the channel but only if I could stop off at Bars at regular intervals...Arrange this and I'll give it a go...LOL...
