We have arrived in Dover, England

Okay, funny story. Our team flew all night and got to hotel about 5p.m. We got a text from the boat captain telling us we would be starting our crossing at 2a.m. tonight! I'm pretty sure we were all in shock. We ate some food, got our swimming bags ready, went to the grocery to get food for the journey, in record time...Then, we were going back to the hotel to sleep 4 hours when we got the text to (stand down). The weather was too harsh and that we should be ready to start our crossing tomorrow afternoon at 1p.m. (subject to weather). We are happy we can get a good night sleep before swimming tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed that we get out tomorrow.
