Still waiting

No definite word yet about whether we are swimming tomorrow or not. Will probably hear from the pilot this evening. The weather forecast is calling now for stronger than previously predicted winds, so I don't know whether we will be going out, but anxiously awaiting more info.

In the meanwhile, we took a nice hike up in the Western Heights back behind the guest house. It was beautiful and steep. We got to the top and could see out to France and just the edge of Dover harbor. Windy up there!

Here is a web site where you can see boats going to and fro in the channel. My boat should show up at some point. It's called the Samallen. Many of the boats, though, lose their signal somewhere mid channel, so if when I'm swimming the boat seems to stall somewhere, it's probably just that the signal's been lost, not that I'm swimming in place.
