I think a record deal may shortly follow.Today was a fantastic swim! That’s 50km ! I was impressed by their strength and endurance.Thank you so much for swimming with me today. It is quickly becoming a protest swim.I am swimming 560km (348 miles) so that others will hear our calls and will stand up with us in defence of the dolphins, the seals and the puffins.The fish have been replaced with plastic. It was wonderful to be supported by friends so generous with their time.We also had surprise guests with us, Major General Tim Toyne Sewell and his wife, Jenny.Tim was my expedition leader on many previous swims and they decided to pop on board for some moral support.He swam behind me for part of the swim certainly kept me in line.It was an absolute pleasure to host them and it was even more of a joy to watch Tim, 78, swallow dive off the very top of the boat.As he dived off, he shouted: "There is still some life left in the old bugger! Why is Kay Burley not on Sky News today? I am resting as much as I can now before the weekend, which sees me and the crew attending events in my hometown of Plymouth, so we have a jam-packed schedule.Chris Coleman (pictured below), who is deputy head of Taunton School, is a Channel relay swimmer and has championed open water swimming with his pupils.We are hoping some of the pupils might join us further into the journey.There was another sunfish sighting today, while some dolphins came right up to our boat's hull.For now, we are continuing with a strategy of one swim a day.I smashed out 5.3 miles (8.5km) and the plan is for this to be the only swim of the day.There were no wildlife spots this morning and only a very small number of jellyfish, but there were lots of fishing boats out that I had to navigate around.We are now motoring on towards Falmouth for a bit of a recovery day after all the excitement of meeting Prince Charles on Monday.Met Prince Charles today - in my shorts and flip flops.I was a keynote speaker at the Ocean Plastics Solutions Day at St Agnes in Cornwall, organised by Surfers Against Sewage.Not ideal conditions today - there were lots of jellfyfish blooms and rain squalls along the way.Yesterday's final swim was a disappointment. Mostly though, it's sheer stubbornness.There was beautiful weather - a flat sea with no wind and one of the strongest currents I've ever come across on a neap tide.This was because I am swimming around an area called The Shambles; a shallow section of the seabed that forces water around it at an accelerated speed.Luckily, it's going in the right direction for the swim, so I can piggyback off this natural phenomenon and cover distances that would ordinarily only be possible if I were an Olympic swimmer on a spring tide.As the expedition yacht, Aquila, was being serviced this afternoon, we had arranged to hire a sport fisher - a smaller and faster boat - to zoom us out to the start point in less than quarter of the time it usually would.We were joined by my friend, Cheong-Ann Png, who is a senior lawyer for the Asian Development Bank.We swam across the Channel in a relay 20 years ago tomorrow and I hadn't seen him since.
