Congratulations Mark J Johansen English Channel solo swimmer

Heroic solo swim by Mark Johansen and his J crew from England to France

Congratulations Mark Johansen whos wam across the English Channel today in 14 hours eight minutes. Mark was successfully across the EC by Paul Foreman.

 
As Mark emailed yesterday: “Yes! I've just had the call telling me to go to Dover at 5am on Sunday for my attempt to swim to France. I'm as nervous as hell and not sure how much (if any) sleep I'll get between now and then, but I've trained as hard as I possibly could, I've got a great crew and all the motivation I could possibly need for a successful swim.”
