Corpse was dumped down the street from my house.  I live in a very safe area, so this is noteworthy.

I am curious to see how this plays out.  I think it was probably just a dump and run.  Strap in the lap for now…

^ Blimey! Hope it's a one-off. Got the next two days off from work, does this afford me a huge lie-in and a chance to hibernate until Friday afternoon? No because: #insomnia :(.

One of our friends, Anna, will be attempting to swim around the Isle of Wight (that is 60 miles) tomorrow.

I will be out on the water with Alex taking photos of his diving operation, so hopefully will be able to cheer her one.

Lend her your support, this is a massive undertaking

Test shot with the GoPro before handing over to Alex in the water…....

So, after full day out (in) on the water scrubbing hulls, Alex got an emergency call at 10:00pm.  A tug had wrapped a rope around it's prop in Southampton and needed to berth a container vessel (not having propulsion is a tad awkward in that situation).  He got back at 2:30AM and then got another call at 08:00 for another prop wrap, I think he's earning his bacon….

Anna has completed the swim.  60 miles.  Only the 4th time it has ever been done and the first by a woman…..Respect

[mclaincausey]

I can do that…

Just have to split it up across maybe 600 days is all...

Anna also becomes only the ninth British member of the 24 Hour Club, for people who have completed successful swims lasting more than a day.

On touching the ladder, Anna swore, and called the experience "horrendous". #RoundIOW
