The very best of swimming luck wasn't enough for Mark Sexton who commenced his English Channel solo swim from Samphire Hoe at 00.28 on Monday 17 August. Alas, Mark exited due to sickness at the 14 hour 30 minute mark with the Cap just two miles away.
Mark's swim was escorted by Optimist, and you can track his progress here.
Mark's twitter account is here and his support crew was Mark Johansen.
On previous occasions, Mark has done fundraising for a school in Africa, and if you can read more about his favoured charity here.
