After a day of shopping yesterday in Bluewater for Sharon’s birthday it was so nice to be back in the real Blue Water this morning (well kind of blueish!).
Bob and I swam at 7am to the West Pier and back and then onto the buoys and back; a decent strong swim of 80 minutes without rest to start the day. It took a whopping 46 minutes of constant swimming to reach the West Pier (previous longest to the WP was 30 minutes) and then a staggering 12 minutes back! Once again showing the power of the tides. Gotta hope that I have tides in my favour when I take on the channel next year! The temperature definitely has fallen again. We were warmish for about 40 minutes, but then the cold definitely set in; the hot shower at the arches afterwards was most welcome!
Tomorrow we are heading to Dorset for a day swimming in the lakes and coves; very exciting stuff.
