One of the few swimmers who managed to battle against the tide, wind, current and waves to complete the race.

We thought at the time that the lifeboats and helicopters were on an exercise. In fact we heard later that they were there on a rescue mission.
Most of the  swimmers  found  they were swimming against the tide and could make no progress and it was soon realised that the emergency services' help was needed in order to avoid anyone succumbing to the cold  North Sea,
