A dark and wet start to today, although hardly any wind at all. Not many at the arch this morning, just below the normal number. The tide was going out, which meant a slight pull to the west, but only slight. Air temp around 8 degrees and sea temp 9.5 degrees. A low tide which meant a short walk out, which in cold seas is quite painful (you have to try it to understand it).
Bob and I swam around the pier and headed straight back in, being over taken along the way at great speed by Lindy and Dr Mark; both with the speed of a bullet (I am so jealous!).
Total swim around 25 minutes. Very good to still be swimming around the pier at the end of November; last year we stopped 3 days ago amongst a heavy snowfall! At this rate we’ll be swimming around the pier into December; I doubt many ever get to say that.
Another amazing sunrise today; very inspiring to see. You find yourself standing waste us in freezing sea water just watching the sun come up and not realising your starting to ice over; very calming indeed.
