However I did get an update later on to say that they have hit some fog and a bit of choppy water. Michelle is still going strong , but the humour is definalty fading. So messages of support form all her friens would really be appriciated 
I will try and get update on whose been sea sick out of the boat crew if I can

Tell Michelle:
I wanted to sleep through my morning yoga class — but couldn’t because I knew you were out there swimming away!!
You’re my inspiration! xo, Courtney

Dear Michelle and crew.
We have been watching via the blog since the early hours. Couldn’t get the comments to work until now…
We are there with you, the sun is up (a rare thing here in the UK) and everyone is shining a sunny smile towards you to keep you warm and happy.
Love,
Meg and Willow

Michelle-
Hopefully this will be a bit of humor for you.
Q. Why wasn’t Susan afraid when she saw a shark while she was swimming in the water?
A. Because it was a man-eating shark!
Keep it going. I (and a bunch of my co-workers) are watching the site and rooting for you!

Hi Michelle,
Keep up the good work. We are all pulling for you.
P.S. Thank goodness the channel is cool for those long open water swims. Can you imagine what it would be like if the boat had to haul a hose of cold water all the way across the channel, and back?
