Next dream has started - only just though

Today i started to put some effort into learning about what it will take to swim the Straits of Gibraltar.  There appears to be a bit of information out there but its one article i have found the most helpful and its titled "No BS Guide to Swimming the Gibraltar Straits" on one of my favourite websites: Marathon Swimming Forum.

So what i have read today it appears as though most of the planning will be done in early 2015 for a swim in July/August.  I have sent an email asking a few questions including the chance of booking a July or August neap tide.

I also came across one of the more unusual attempts to cross the Straits by two Australians...Hamish and Andy. I actually listen to these two comedian podcasts whilst swimming my longer Wednesdays sets, quite ironic!
