The pilot is critical in making sure the swimmer is at certain points to benefit the changes. Stroke rates are very critical in making sure you get where you need to be. If you miss the change you are screwed and will be swimming alot more. My crossing was an arch and not an S. I have seen patterns that end up down the coast of france<br /><br />Jim <br />Crossed in 2006Jim Barberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10013466012113309766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959550164659276188.post-68581457012121298092009-08-18T08:31:50.278-07:002009-08-18T08:31:50.278-07:00Go Adam Go...You are looking good..Satellite shows...Go Adam Go...You are looking good..Satellite shows you will be touching sand shortly...Mr Keeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525660068410255455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959550164659276188.post-57098028580604657762009-08-18T08:23:17.886-07:002009-08-18T08:23:17.886-07:00Hey Adam we are all with you there - keep it a'...Hey Adam we are all with you there - keep it a'going!!!!
