We’ve now been in America for the past six weeks. Cancellations on delivery meant the Ice Maiden didn’t reach the States until 7 May. The mast was then damaged as it was loaded off the boat, causing further delays. This has put pressure to finish the swim leg before the end of the year, with hurricane season upon us and water temperatures that will drop considerably as summer moves into autumn.

However, we are in good spirits and confident that we will be swimming very soon.

Thanks for your continued support. Here are a couple of videos to share around to whet your appetite for what’s to come:
