Progress

We're around about half way in distance terms. The second half will take a bit longer though due to the effects of tides and whatnot. The tides are also the reason you may be questioning the strange path on the tracker. Everything's very tactical on the boat here with maps and gps's to decide the best bearing to take. Progress is good though!! Dad's been holding a constant pace as he always does and hasn't shown much sign yet of slowing down. Thanks for all the comments everyone. We're not allowed to talk to him for fear of ruining his concentration but they will be appreciated none the less when he finishes. Go dad!!

  1. Thanks for that guys. I have a couple of questions for when he finishes: 1) did he see anything in the water ie plankton, fish, seaweed, mermaids? 2) what food was he dreaming of eating at the end?

    Anyone else got questions?

  2. hi geoff.. have been following and amazed by your progress. 9km/hr!! are you swimming or water skiing? Puzzled by the direction taken but I assume that the current will change and all will be as it should (we hope). Best of luck with the rest of it!!! Cheers David Lee

  9. What's happening? I'm seeing 23kmh and a direction change. Is he out of the water or is this just a tracker anomaly?
