Hi Guys and Girls, Lost 4 boats and one Rottnest Channel swim.
Found boat number 5 in Dover harbour "Louise Jane" and had pilot Andy King CSA guide me across the English Channel on 8th July 2007, 14'C all the way, started in force 5 gale, 3 hours smooth water in the middle, 4 hours stationary off the coast of France, video shows it still WHITE CAPPING when I stood on beach at Wissant after 16 hrs 28 mins.
Nine solo's started that morning, one finished. First successful crossing for 2007, first Australian for 2007. Hauled my ass out of bed at 3.30 am next morning to see off the next lot of swimmers off at Dover. Yes I was pumped !
Regards Collie
