The Waiting Game

Tomorrow is the start of the official tide window so I could get the call at any minute. I stare at the phone like it's a bomb waiting to explode.

Yesterday was a glorious day in Dover and I had an enjoyable two hour swim in the harbour though the tide was out, it was pretty shallow and very murky. My pilot, Eddie, took a relay out last night before this weather front moves in. He has now said it will be Thursday or Friday at the earliest before I swim. It was beautiful this morning (and I thought he might change his mind and waited for a call) but the wind has swung round this afternoon and it's now blowing hard from the wrong direction, SW (NW is the best.) Kevin will be on my support crew if the swim is Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Jane if it's Saturday or Sunday. And John's on his own if it's Friday!

Had a (nearly) two hour swim in the harbour this morning. I was miserable - it wasn't a good swim and hopefully I just needed to get that one out of my system.

Will update when I can but now on slow computer in library so they won't be frequent.
