On behalf of the crew, well what an unbelievable privilege it was to witness yesterday's events.
It's hard from a distance to imagine what a truly momental achievement this was. Those of us who swam with Wayne yesterday were very pleased to get out after our sessions, because the water temperature and sea state made being in it so thoroughly unpleasant. But Wayne stayed in there, swimming stroke after stroke for all those hours and repeatedly upping the tempo when conditions required it.
On the way back, Jonny said 'before today I'd have said that swimming the Channel must be incredibly difficult - but after today, I know it's impossible....'
For me that sums it up perfectly.
Nice one Wayne.
