I found out yesterday that Scooba Steve passed away last weekend. He has been training on the beach in Dover since the start of May and was a real character known to everyone that trained there. He had found acclimatising to the cold water a real challenge but no matter how hard he found it he would always be back the next week to give it another go. He was over the moon when he successfully completed his 6 hour qualifying swim.
Although I only knew him fleetingly, he was a really nice bloke and I am sorry that he did not get to fulfil his dream to swim the English Channel. He will be missed on the beach and at this time my thoughts are with his family and friends.
