We're off!

After 5 weeks of on and off, and 5 'ready to go, no go' we're finally off.

So we'll be meeting our pilot at 11.15pm, then starting to swim at around midnight. The weather is looking gorgeous and we're ready to go.

If you'd like to track our progress, follow: https://www.channelswimmingassociation.com/pilots/viking-princess-ii

We'll update on the Tenacious Turtles FB page periodically so join in the fun and keep us motivated.
