Glad you enjoyed
And you’re so modest! I remember following your GPS coordinates and fractured WhatsApp comms from the other side of the world. I was exhausted just watching it. Nail-biting stuff. Incredible feat. You should be so proud. I am.

First of all I want to say awesome job! Second, I’m going to be an escort on the kayak for the first time next week. Any suggestions or pointers for me?

thank you! the most important thing for the kayaker to the swimmer, is to keep the swimmer swimming in as direct a line as possible. It is helpful to alternate which side of the swimmer you paddle on after every feed. It is also helpful to keep next to the swimmer, nit too far in front and not behind, so the swimmer can see you every time you breathe. Having a whistle is a massive help to get attention for the swimmer when you need them to move. Make sure you stay well hydrated and fed as well. The other helpful thing is to steer the swimmer away from blue bottles and jelly fish by using the whistle or pointing. Figure out some hand signals with your swimmer ahead of time and make communication clear. Good luck!
