The DAY is Already Here!

I am going to apologize first for not blogging as much this swim. I found that I was about 100 times busier this time. School, events, speaking, training, and work made it tougher to find time to do things like this.

I want to make sure I thank all of those involved with this swim, from crew to volunteers to sponsors to everyone who has donated and supported. I would love to mention everyone by name, but as I have learned, someone would get missed and I do not want that. So thank you from the bottom of my heart, and that goes double for my family.

I cannot believe it is finally here. Actually, finally does not seem like the right word, because it came so fast. I am sorry if having to start early ruins any plans. With the time I need to do this swim, I need a big window before the storms come on Saturday. I am ready. I want to go now, actually. But I had better try to get some sleep.

I talked to a couple of TV stations when I arrived, so it is nice that they care about what is happening for Camp Trillium. This team I have over here is incredible. A special shout out to everyone in my home county of Norfolk. I cannot wait to swim home tomorrow. To those who have embraced the Ripple Effect, like Duane, Josh Buchhold, the kids at the Waterford Museum, and so many more, thanks so much.

I know I will not be able to sleep tonight, but I am signing off anyway. My parents will update my blog as I swim. Thanks so much for sticking with me, and I will see you on the beach in Dover.
