morning getting back out for another
notice women surprisingly can't talk
very well eat very well or drink very
well
my tongue has now fallen out with the
salt water just woke up this morning
with chunks of my tongue on my pillow
there's no way to describe it take a
peek at this
I'm so sorry for those who are probably
eating nervous
that's a big one he can't actually see
the taste buds on it it's been a rough
week I'm not even gonna lie so this is
this is gonna really be a very honest
and open sort of video diary where I lay
it all out on the table got off to a
good start I inevitably got all excited
I was amazing very same way that lasted
an hour and then I felt my neck just
kind of was was just basically bleeding
I was so stubborn
I just plowed on showed Matt Matt starts
hacking up the wetsuit in the team's
looking going oh my god this is an hour
into a hundred days swim it was a dark
dark moment that star imagine you've got
a wound and then you're being told that
you have to rub sandpaper over that
wound for six hours a day twice a day to
achieve your goal that's what it's lies
the hope is that it turns into like a
callus someone said on social media like
a like a rhino neck shock white like I
hope that sticks
I've always wanted a nickname Rhino
names quite good I then start swimming
in skins just you know wearing trunks
and a smile you see it what happened
it's because the chafing is so bad on my
neck we've just decided to just go au
naturale how mother nature intended
basically bone skins back this is apple
banana leaf I think I think
from there there is a bit of home sick
is a cooking connoisseur well I just
read the label it's so so fortunate that
had the team around me to say Rasul
being a little bit silly now
and I was I was coming out I was
basically doing intervals I was swimming
as hard as I could try and get my body
temperature up and then as soon as it
started to drop and I started to shiver
I'd get on the boat that rushed me in
here into the kitchen you know Matt
taught me how to do it seems like I was
really concerned I thought that's one
thing that me and red bullet wanna do is
it's broadcast this sporting experiment
as honestly as possible but as rough as
this week has been you have no idea how
much your comments have actually helped
and I said at the start that this was
going to be this huge kind of collective
it's not a personal endeavor at all and
yeah I just wanted to say thank you so
much which is why on that note I wanted
to actually take this time to almost
repay your kindness and start to answer
some of your questions so I'm gonna read
a few out Jack what does the link to the
tracker Jack good question link should
be below and any given point you'll be
able to see where I am around the post
of Great Britain which actually brings
me on to Darren's question here can you
explain how you anchor up and keep
tracking Rossi yes I'm gonna hand over
to Mac because he's gonna do a much
better job at explaining it to me why
swimming he's got a satellite spot
tracker on him
so he's got that in his toe boy that
he's got towing behind him and that spot
tracker who's sending his GPS
coordinates out know just to to ask but
also to the internet so people could
find out where's Ross you know so it's a
general rule what they're doing what
we're trying to do is switch on the spot
tracker and the moment that he goes to
the water and then I've got a look its
position on the Pope's GPS father's
looking position manually and writing as
well so that we don't miss that moment
the key moments of where he's actually
got out of the water and finished a swim
awaits got out of the water and come
onto the boat for a rest or something
like that I love those points and then
we always go back to that precise spot
so that there's complete continuous
connection between everywhere that we
swam on the shrimp before and where he
starts the next waves have to give Lexus
outta here because he's from the US but
amazing seeing how everybody from all
around the world has really kind of got
behind this as well so yeah this means a
lot Lex let's keep it up Ross I've
signed up to two mountain bike races
because of this and adductors serious
less talking more doing attitude much
love from the earth lect you legend keep
messaging me but for now I'm gonna eat
I'm going to sleep and then I've got
another swim
[Music]
okay guys big swings
I basically conquered the White Cliffs
of Dover one of the world's busiest
shipping lanes we're now in another one
the world that has managed to sweep
stalkers into getting a 20-minute window
where we can swim across right now we're
waiting for two ferries that are
traveling about 20 knots don't really
want to get into an item in one of those
and so gold that this is just to get
across in this 20 minute window really
really don't feel like super anything
