A super turnout for the first SSF breakfast on the beach held fittingly on Good Friday. This Indian Summer during Easter continues and provided a welcome backdrop for the morning's swim. Anita, Ruth and Pete all joined in the fun, and it was good to see them again. There were those with wetsuits, and those without and each of us did their own thing. Have to remember that it is still only April and sea temperatures, whilst improving, are still a little bit chilly. Sara and myself led the charge out to sea, with me trying very hard not to be Mr Grumpy, so just a case of having to grin and bear it. The tide was going out, although not so much trekking across the rocks to deeper water thankfully. The water a little murkier than Wednesday, so the garden beneath the waves was not quite as visible. Instead Sara pointed out Fulmars flying above which, I understand, are related to the albatross - which I only see during the winter season. We all swam around for a bit, before heading back in to have some of the breakfast that Ollie was preparing. Much discussion and general chit-chat, Sara's vegetable loaf went down very agreeably. There was a limerick penned by Sara for Ollie's little girl Penny, and the warm weather ensured that the shivers were kept to a minimum. At around 9.15am we all began leaving, promising to return next week for another beach breakfast on the bank holiday.
