Today, the 16th May, saw the Great Britain 'Howard James' set a new CSA record. In an amazing time of 13hrs 13mins (unratified), he completed his Channel swim, beating the previous record set by Kevin Murphy on the 29th May 1990. He was on board Louise Jane Charter with pilot Andy King and James King; observers Keith Oiller and Phl Collins. A huge well done to Howard from all at the CSA and im sure the thousands of people following him on his journey today. Congratulations!!
