From Jeff

Adam is fighting tough and hanging trying to catch the tide into Cap
Griz Nez. Having technical difficulties on our land lines at the
moment, but are doing 30 minute checks with the boat crew (Todd) to
see what it looks like. May be another hour and he's home free. COME
ON ADAM!

From Jeff: Wind is Picking Up

Adam is now battling stronger winds --they're up to 15 knots -- and
he's fighting the tide, but the man is swimming on! Go Adam.

From Jeff:

Adam's crew reports he was downright chatty during the last feed -- a
great sign. C'mon Adam, go get your rock!

From Jeff:

Adam's crew has switched up their game plan a bit. He's getting
Gatorade every other stop now. He's nine hours in and still hanging
tough. Go Adam.

From Jeff: Six Hours In

The latest report from the boat is that Adam is still swimming well,
keeping his stroke count up, and is keeping nutrition down.

From Jeff: He's Halfway to France

Adam has entered the second shipping lane, so he's halfway there.
Conditions are still pretty good, although the wind has kicked up, but
he's still fighting and doing well. Keep the encouragement coming!

Update from Jeff: Adam's Progress

Adam's still chugging along, but has come up on a rough patch
(expected in the Channel) and is having difficulty keeping down
nutrition. We need some positive words from the faithful to pull him
through to the other side. BRING IT HOME ADAM!!!!!!!!
