The magically diminishing crew of SSF descended on to the beach this morning. The roll call stopped at three. Sara, Joan & Pete. A lively & playful sea greeted us with large mats of weed floating past. The tide being 3/4 in we decided to venture no further than the inner buoys and both Sara & Pete opted for the wetsuit (one each).
Joan, resting after her usual laps of the beach offered to watch from the beach until S & P were safely out of sight(?).
The IWB (work it out) was reached after what seemed and age. Sara carefully plotting a course around the weed mats, with Pete ploughing straight through, enjoying some early morning roughage. IWB reached, widths were decided upon rather than attempt a full circuit since the OWB was invisible unless a particularly large wave offered a downwards view of the sea.
Sara was keen to weasel away for 6 whilst Pete contented himself with four, hanging around with big toe firmly plugged into the buoy chain, watching Sara completing her final two. The swim back was enlivened by more weed, Pete bringing a large clump back and posed rasta-like until being unsuspectingly upended by a huge wave, driving Sara into fits of giggles.
Cormorants spotted, Joan did laps and paddles.
