Day 347 - Thursday 29th Septemeber 2011


At the arch by 7am and Little Bob and Damien there, no-one else (others came later).  I’ve never seen such a low tide before!  It was so low in fact that we walked past the Brighton Pier sign and the sea was not even up to my ankles!  Everyday is so different it’s amazing.  Still standing at the silver ball it was time to take the plunge.  Little Bob went to the end of the pier (shows how long the walk was) and Damien & I carried on around.  Coming back to the steps it was amazing to see the bottom step, the one that is usually completely hidden beneath the depths, to be standing proud about 2 feet above the sea!
The air temperature was at least 16 degrees (meant to be 26 degrees by this afternoon) and the sea temp 14.4 degrees; so up a bit. 
Once more no words to describe the sunrise other than simply a marvel.
Channel Relay by Big Bob, Alex and 4 others – completed successfully in perfect conditions at 12 hrs 23 minutes.  Well done them.  Now we have to hope our conditions are as good and aim for 12hrs 22 minutes !
