A Westbrook woman has completed her swim across the English Channel.
According to a blog post by her daughter Sarah, Pat Gallant-Charette, 60, reached the French shore this afternoon.
“OMG, she did it! she did it she did it she did it,” reads a post at www.patgalant.blogspot.com that appeared on the site at 3:14 p.m. local time. Gallant-Charette’s exact time and distance are not recorded on the blog yet, but an earlier post on the blog indicated she first went in the water at 11:11 p.m. local time Sunday, or 4:11 a.m. Monday in England.
This is Gallant-Charette’s third attempt at crossing the channel. The first was in 2008, when currents forced her back 1.7 miles from the French coast. The second attempt was canceled in 2009 due to weather conditions.
