Wed August 8th. Lovely April weather again. Luckily the sea temperature is starting to be summery and in fact felt very warm to Hildi, just returned from Swimtrek in the Lake District. She and Paul both donned their 'yellow group' hats in solidarity (Paul having done a Swimtrek trip last year).
Gathering under the shelter of the cafe, the usual suspects plus Domino (needing some cold water on his legs after allegedly beating Paul W at the TT last night - he's going to have to grow some new sideburns, you know), and missing Pete.
Joan and Paul C stuck to widths while the others opted for a couple of devil's laps and, I believe, what us known as the devil's horseshoe. Hildi asked for a head start but in the end didn't need it, and it was a companionable swim stopping only every other buoy for a chat.
Hildi forgot the banana muffins she'd made but waxed lyrical about the joys of hot ribena and there was some exchange of garden produce.
Swimmers: Hildi, Sara, Joan, Paul, Ollie, Alex
Paddlers: Domino
Conditions: drizzly and misty. Needed fog lights in the sea. Highish tide on way out. Just a little bit bouncy. Warm.
