The sun was shining and it promised to be the warmest day yet. The sea was a little choppy with gently rolling waves and a receding tide. Sara Paul and Joan walked some way before diving in and Sara even considered a spot of surfing. We swam as the kelp brushed against us and a strong current pushed us eastwards. The gulls and oyster catchers were busy feeding amongst the rocks as the tide continued on it's way out and they hardly noticed that Sara and Paul did not go a cold red but maintained a soft pink colour. Sara shot off to the east with Paul following fast behind. Then Paul changed tack and headed south to France. ( Paul has been supplying croissants these last two swim mornings - it's his favourite breakfast)!
For some days we have had South Westerlies blowing bringing in warmer water: noticeable and more inviting. HURRAH..........Spring's here AT LAST!
We look forward to some more company on the beach. We miss you all!!!!!
It would be nice to have "a Gathering of SSF Swimmers" now that conditions are improving and what better time than Good Friday. We will provide a Beach Breakfast and cannot guarantee fresh fish! But you may be tempted with other goodies as well as testing the waters.
R.S.V.P (for catering purposes)
We look forward to seeing you soon.
