Day 5; After a slightly delayed start (due to some large ships docking) Andy left Thurrock Yacht Club at 14:40 hours. The Port of London Authority were in attendance in their vessel, 'KEW', keeping a watching brief until Andy reached Gravesend. There was lots of choppy water around the middle 5 miles today , however this smoothed out and Andy completed 20 miles of swimming, reaching mouth of Medway at 20:15 hours. |
'Wabbit' motors past 'Bob II' with Captain Stewart at the helm. Nick Lincoln took his eye off Andy for a few seconds to take this shot. They will be meeting up again for overnight mooring at Queenborough. |

At the end of another day's swimming Andy's in very good spirits and looking forward to getting back in the water tomorrow, when he'll be attacking a 23 mile stretch to reach Herne Bay. |
