what's up guys I'm hoping this is is one
of the final swims that's gonna actually
get as out of Lyme Regis Bay
as you can see came out at Margate which
was around here everything was going
swimmingly Isle of Wight picked up some
great tides around there absolutely
cruising and it was around here where we
passed Portland bill and the goal was to
just swim directly across which as you
could see as the crow flies would have
been pretty efficient but what happened
in reality is it was about two o'clock
in the morning trying to swim around
there in complete darkness and the tides
and currents were so bad they forced us
into the bay
so we could have come back out and tried
again to cut across but there was no
guarantee that it was actually gonna
work and we could have just wasted so
much time just trying to swim out here
so instead me and Matt decided just to
suck it up basically swim all the way
around hugging the coastline which is
added so many more miles to the to the
overall journey and then also as well I
mean we were just eating waves
constantly throughout here which you can
see from the number of X's the X is a
where I stop and feed and it's just so
dense around there
and it's only just now after four days
just eating waves that I can actually
see light at the end of the tunnel
[Music]
finally we're out the day the Battle of
the day is won it was just like mother
nature was going you're not you're not
gonna move like right now so then I
think that was the thing goes no there's
no end in sight he didn't know he was
gonna finish what I means when I was
training for strongman swimming and they
told me look when you are suffering from
extreme fatigue you probably have the
cognitive functioning so like the mental
capacity of the five-year-olds you just
need very clear instructions and you
have very limited capacity for anything
else so you just need to focus on the
task at hand and for me that is just
paying one hand in front of the other
but after battling just waves and tides
and just just being stuck in the bay we
were just blessed with the most
unbelievable few days yesterday as we
came out of the bay firstly the Royal
Navy decided to rock one over they heard
that or how it was quite low I was just
basically taking a beating from Mother
Nature so they rocked an over the hms
biter hms charger which were amazing
these kind of like oh maybe was
just rocked I've got to go aboard I've
got to chat to the guys about you know
seasickness and kind of coping with all
sorts that the sea can throw at you I
strapped to the Royal Navy on social
media and morale is is such a big thing
that they freaked so all jokes aside I
know this looks like fun over there but
we've already
locked up ten miles today so this is
just basically just a nice water to wind
down and I think like for all of a
hundred days of this just motivation and
actually just like stop again what is
gonna be key so that's why as much as it
just looks like a good laugh no no it's
just a good laugh he's actually keeping
up around as well that's that's the
theory
right okay yeah so we got 10 meter race
which they said they're gonna be easy on
me which is kind of them Tom's gonna be
the finish line
[Music]
oh my god now the draw is the tiger shot
with a trident so it's quite quite a
fitting cresting of you I reckon I made
about half a mile going so yeah okay
that was pretty awesome
Royal Navy just dropped me off after my
bad grades needless to say I came second
[Music]
ladies and gentlemen you join us at a
critical moment at the great bracelet my
neck is healed I'm now a fully certified
rhino neck check that out
but as you know me and the jellyfish are
friends my feud with them continues the
literal
which is why we've all consulted as a
team and we'll Matt Matt thinks he has
an idea that's that's had a lot of ideas
this is up there with one of his best
I'm gonna let him explain it's really a
cling film with flecks on it
they were molded that to his face we're
gonna take this snorkel device off and
then I've the kind of breathing hole and
then I should fit his space really gonna
stick it under his Wesley hood or up
over the top impression
ninja tiles I so sick thank you
[Music]
Aria claims issues paddleboard and she'd
stop and check to this dude it's amazing
I'll actually think the blue is good huh
no I've had one it's hard to eat if to
post it okay that's it we're gonna
redesign okay
this is a big moment in the great
british swim that's because this is the
first time since Margate that I'm
attempting to swim without duct tape or
plasters just Luba
[Music]
it's been an amazing week clocked up
many miles Devin's been amazing but
Cornwall has come out in force
I'm reg Lee and this has been
[Applause]
