Low tide, some surface chop, water temperature consistent for time of year. Once we had made our way across the rocks, we opted to swim to the furthest right-hand buoy. It was not practical to swim circuits due to the low-tide, so from there we swam to the furthest left-hand buoy and back, repeating six times (12 lengths in total). There was a tangible, current running west to east. Conditions, initially good although the wind did pick up towards the end and the surface chop turned to waves. Pete headed in first after 8 lengths, Anita and Mark completed 12 with Paul following behind. Total distance approx 1300m.
Time: In 07:10, out 08:00.
Swimmers: Pete, Anita, Paul and guest Channel Swimmer Mark Blewitt (website on links page).
