Even though the sun was shining it was still a chilly morning when I met Jay on Monday.  Great Britain usually has South West prevailing winds, and the winds from this direction aid bringing the warmer water up from the Atlantic.  Unfortunately for Jay, the winds are still coming from the NE, so degrees was the best that we could hope for. 



The wind was also at strength 4-5, which from the NE, meant that the waters was quite rough, so we spend the first 2 hours inside the protective waters of Portland Harbour.  Jay has been dealing with cold water very well and implemented several sprints during the 3rd hour to keep him motivated, left his core temperature and give him the much needed strength to break through the French tides after several hours of swimming.

It was another great swim by Jay who hopefully will getting in a 5-hour swim in Corfu next week before meeting back up with me in early June for his 6-hour qualification swim.
