The Year's First Channel Attempt

Some of you might find this interesting. Today was the first day this summer for someone to make an English Channel swim. It was a six person relay. The Channel was 56 degrees and a little bumpy today. Below are two photos to show you what I mean. Open full size to get the full effect. The team ended up abandoning after about 15 hours, five miles from France (the hardest part of the swim due to the currents).
