Boat watching


Today my daughter Mary has been swimming a relay across the English Channel with five friends.  She is doing it in memory of Martha, her first child who was still born, and to raise money for SANDS a charity that supports women who have had a still birth.

The picture is of the pilot boat, Anastasia, which they are using.  I have spent all day watching the web page where they continuously update where the boat as got to.  They started at 5.08am from Dover and according to the map they must now, at just after 2.00pm UK time, be in sight of the French coast.


I think it is a beautiful way of paying tribute to Martha and already they have raised over £10,000. I am so proud of her.
