Just heard that Elgin Blue Wave Swimmer John Muenzer has started his English Channel attempt at 2:30pm CDT (9:30pm in Dover). There are links on the Elgin Blue Wave Site www.elginbluewave.com to see his progress.
Good Luck John!!!
Thanks!
I think others from the area are attempting the Channel?
I know of one, and of a relay attempt.
His boat looks well into the Channel.
Swim fast, John! Sunrise over Griz Nez!
Success!
13 hours 12 minutes to Wissant Beach, France.

Jellyfish stings and a strong current at the end that drew him off desired course notwithstanding.
Congratulations John, I enjoyed following you on twitter! :applaud: :applaud:
It sounded like you had a gear for everything the channel dished out to you!
Incredible accomplishment John. I'd like to think all those workouts we did from 95-2000, before you bolted to greener pastures established a base for that swim, but I know better than that. It was the water basketball games that toughened you up! BS
