Swimming day 393 - Friday 23rd December 2011

And the slippery slope continues downwards, but in a good warming way.

Usual 7.20am swim to avoid the total dark.  My cast today were LB, Lindy, Charlotte, Bella, Big Bob, Mike, Dentist James, Paul, Paul Smith and Moi; a pantomime cast if ever one existed.  The sea was a lot wavier today, plenty of swells and decent size waves.  Temperature UP to around 7.5 degrees though which was fab and the rain dribbling down on us as we walked down the beach.  We all played mostly; Bob, Paul Smith, James and I heading off to the west groin and back and swimming around; actually really feeling it in my shoulders so must have been some strong swimming.  Total swim was 15 minutes, which was a decent time. 

Afterwards back at the Roaster Paul did his Captain Morgan once again and we headed back to work with a warm glow. Nice as it is, we really must make this a Christmas only treat!

Doubtful I will swim tomorrow and definitely not Christmas day; so the next swim will probably be the day after boxing day. Then it’s into 2012 and once again the countdown to my channel adventure starts.

Happy Christmas and a Happy Chanukah to all x
