Revision

Well. After a long discussion with Jeni,  I told her that I didn't think it was a good idea for her to swim the Straits with me. Her parents were very unhappy with the idea.  Her Dad sent some interesting, but complicated facts about the currents on the Straits,  along with a very scary photo of the waters on a very windy day. I really don't want to get involved in anyone else's family drama. I also did not want to lose my friendship with her family. It just became too much. Personally, I think she was relieved. Some members of my family and a few friends will be there and I didn't want them to be exposed to any needless worry or negative vibes. So. It's just me,  folks.  It will actually make things a little simpler, although planning this swim is more complicated than I thought. I have questions for the Coast Guard, but have been unable to reach them.  *Probably because they're out saving lives, or some other sort of nonsense.* (It's a JOKE!) I'll just be glad when I get this paperwork out of my hands.

Anyway, It's all good!
