Back to swimming

After all the stress of trying to organise things for the trivia night next Saturday, it was some relief to get back in the water this weekend and just swim. I had a beautiful three hour swim on Saturday, and a two hour swim on Sunday.

Saturday's swim had tricky bits as the wind was a howling westerly and it was only when we hugged the beach that we had a bit of shelter. It wasn't too bad for me in the water but it was pretty difficult for Margie on the surf ski.

The water was crystal clear, felt about 16.5 degrees (although someone told me later it was 15.5 degrees) and as we hugged the cliffs round to Freshwater, I had the most incredible swim over the beds of sea grass - what a beautiful spot. Thanks Margie.

Sunday was a chilly two hour swim at Balmoral, accompanied by (a slightly hungover) Anna. What a woman.
