Skylark was used as a passenger and safety vessel by the Kingfishers sea swimming club.
the first leg started from Staithes and the swimmers swam for 1/2 hour intervals as part of a relay.
in the first day the swimmers managed to cover 17.2 miles in 8 1/2 hours.
unfortunately due to weather and sea conditions they couldn't continue the swim the second day and continued the swim 2 weeks later.
the swimmers worked hard even with jelly fish brushing over them.
in total they swam the North Yorkshire Boundary, Staithes to Speeton in 17hrs 18mins 19secs
