Sara and Joan made their way in the darkness down the shingle bank and set up for their swim. A hint of a golden glow sparked on the eastern horizon. There was a stiff north wind blowing and the calm waters lapped gently on the shingle. They walked into the freezing waters and Sara sped off to the visible end off the groyne. Returning to say to Joan, "I'm enjoying this" and with that ploughed into the waters doing two widths of the groynes. Joan meanwhile wallowed around looking at the flocks of gulls and cormorants overhead. Water temperature nearer 8 degrees C now. We came out of the sea and Sara had her hot water bottle to the ready with Joan pouring a bottle of warm water over her and her numb fingers. The sun was rising; a great orange ball. A hot drink was had with mince pies and a promise to meet again at 0730 on Friday.
Time: In 7:40, Out 7:50.
