For those of you interested, you can follow my channel swim live by tracking the course of my support boat, The Viking Princess. The web-site will show you the approximate location of the boat even though it will not get all the way to shore.
The night before of my swim I will put a quick update on my blog saying I will be swimming tomorrow and about what time I will start. As a reminder my tide is July 18th-July 25th, 2010. I will be swimming some time in that slot depending on weather conditions,
The link is- www.marinetraffic.com/ais and you can also find a link on the right hand of my Blog at the English Channel Weather, Water Temperature and Vessel Traffic link.
How to use the web-site
On the top left hand corner, below Ships Map, Go to Area, selectct English Channel. Then bellow that you will see all the different ship types, you can unclick Cargo Vessels, Tankers, Accord/Moored this will help clear up some of the traffic so you can find my boat.
If you want to watch all the boat traffic going around me you can leave them all on. My boats name is VIKING PRINCESS and its MMSI number is 235018274. I will be swimming in the narrow part of the English Channel between Dover and Calais.
