Davis has just 5 miles to go and the conditions are "like glass."
Throughout the swim he has been averaging 1.7 nautical miles an hour.

Who am I?
In the 135 years people have been swimming the English Channel fewer than one thousand have been successful. When I was 14 years old I decided that, one day, I would be one of the people who made the swim. Now, close to 20 years later, I am planning to attempt just that. I have secured a pilot boat through the Channel Swimming and Piloting Federation,for an attempt in September 2010. I am currently looking for businesses, individuals, or organizations that would like to make contributions or provide sponsorship, either monetarily or in kind.
If I'm correct, that means he's doing each 100 yards in about :1:35.65. Not bad. And 20 miles is 352 100's. Try that some New Years Day Michael.
ReplyDeleteThe first ones were faster, hour 3, 4 and 5 were slower, down to 1.6 knots, then I picked it back up once the sun came up.
ReplyDelete1.7 nautical is more like 2 and change mph, 21 miles is 39690 yds, and 9:46 is 486 min, is about 1:22 per 100.
Thanks for all your support everyone!
