8 hours and still going to plan. Lex's stroke is a metronomic (64 per minute every minute), long and smooth.

In 1 hour we will be out of the shipping lane and did I mention WE CAN SEE FRANCE ...............haven't told Lex yet as want to save it in case she starts to struggle at all. She is currently running broadly in line with the tide (East to West) which will turn against her in a couple of hours so feeding stops are short and sharp and she is working hard between them. Currently swimming at 7 km/h. I can't run that fast........
