A most beautiful Friday; even being the 13th can't put a dampen on a warm sunny outlook. The Arch was nicely busy with usual suspects there; Big Bob, Mike, Leo, David, Fiona, Lindy, Little Bob, Bella, Evo and others. The sun certainly brings us all out like eager beavers.
With our buoys now firmly in position and with a near flat sea and a mid strength tide to the east, we (Bob & I) swam around the 3 bouys, through the pier to the west buoy then around the pier, back around the buoys and to shore; picking up Fiona along the way who was literally dancing in the sea to the dance music pouring out of the speakers from the pier; a 7am water disco!
Temperature in sea circa 11.5 and around 14 in air; so all acceptable. Total swim 43 minutes and an absolute pleasure to not be in the wetsuit today; just love the feel of the sea on my skin, especially on a warm calm day. With a start like this the day is just going to be great.
