English Channel Relay - Waiting Game Now...

Our window for the relay starts tonight at 7pm.  So now it is a waiting game.  The weather is shit now and forecasted for shit!  The wind for the forecast is pretty high for the next two days.  I am not an official pilot but it does not look good at this moment.  I don't mind rain but I do not like swimming in white caps in extremely cold water.  My biggest fears is wind chill and waves...  I really just want to get on with this swim, the waiting game is killing me...  Ugh...
