Mmr Cookstown update 23:36pm if there's a "hard part" to the swim this is it ! Still 7/8 miles to swim in pitch blackness now - he's amazingly strong - and working each hour for a feed & a 55 second break... He's swimming quite close to the boat - holding an incredible line in a big spring tide /--'Lucas is a beast!! Look at the tracking and you'll be able to cheer him on (!and in !) thanks for the hundreds of messages he will see each and every one after this swim !! Next update 12:30am ( gmt ) stroke rate 48 strokes per minute / 17 water / 13 air / sea state is still slight / we'll be picking up tide now and pushing us down to then cap Gris nes point - Eddie ANASTASIA is captain today - only one other boat out tonight - a relay team containing a the world record channel swimmer!
