I make 3D nautical charts for any chart anywhere in the world . So , as recently as 2 months ago I did the second "Channel Swim" 3D chart as a gift from the wife of the swimmer. The chart shows the english channel with the various banks between Dover and Calais, what is really cool is that we mark out the path of the swim. If yo used me your email address I can send you some photos. Bobby Nash Latitude Kinsale Hi Pete,

What a lovely message! Thanks very much! I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Nick Kemp - he's absolutely brilliant at what he does and is a great guy too. After the initial consultation, he donated all his extra time on other sessions for FREE! And he sent me a great audio CD when I was starting to doubt myself. A cool dude indeed. Well done on keeping going yourself! To have had a special needs child for 30 yrs solid and remaining upbeat is brilliant. Well done you - so that's a fair swap - I've inspired you, so now I'll take a bit of inspiration from you too and make sure I'm as interested in life and positive on Archie's 30th birthday as you are on Chris's! All the best Andrew and thanks! Hi Andrew!

Very inspiring. Thanks for the video you made afterwards together with Nick Kemp. You both illustrate beautifully how there is far more potential sleeping in us that can be brought to life with the appropriate mental leveraging. It has given me a lot to think about. My special needs oldest son, Chris, turned 30 this year. He remains the master teacher in my life and a source of great inspiration when times are tough. Hi Pete,

And thanks for your kind contribution to Archie's school too! I fed once an hour for the first three hours and then half hourly after that. I stuck to liquid feeds throughout as I thought that I'd have trouble keeping the solids down, and would take too long. A good strategy as it turned out. I got the feeding chart from Nick Adams/Freda Streeter - I can forward it on if you need it! Hiya Mark – thanks! And thanks for your kind contribution to Archie’s school too!

Hope weather and currents are in your favour. And that you hit the £8,000. Good luck, Pete – especially on that last two miles or so. Hope weather and currents are in your favour.
