As you can imagine, the year has been long, sometimes happy, sometimes funny, sometimes sad. Conditions were against Karen right from the start. Her first sickness was after just 1.5 hours. It continued relentlessly for 9.5 hours of 20mins swim, be sick, nutrition, 20mins swim, be sick.......and so on
It was an impossible task that another pilot referred to as 'Not a day for soloists'.
But, she is a fighter, she'll be back, I believe in 2013 to give it another go. Well done my friend and let the photo movie below speak for itself. Please turn your volume up and allow yourself about 10mins to watch the true courage of an ordinary lady with a full-time job, hectic life, kids, dogs, and an amazing desire to swim the channel.
If at first you don't succeed.........................
