Slightly odd collection this morning with all the regulars unable to make it except Pete (who now classes himself as a regular once more). He arrived to find a wetsuited pair already wading into the sea. Pete was to join Anita and Lara this morning. Lara had just finished a bootcamp session and Anita had just missed one but wanted a quick dip before work. Even though Pete stripped off and sprinted into the sea, the others had already swum out to the "Claw" and were well on the way to the Lost Buoy. They were very patient however and waited for Pete to join them. This was a lowish tide and the inner buoys were floating in about 2m of clear water. Clear enough to see the army of starfish assembled beneath. They seemed to be intent on something but even after diving down to observe closely, their intentions could not be uncovered. Perhaps they were off to occupy the Lido until Joan's wise plans were listened to and acted upon, who knows but they looked pretty determined.
Anyway, Pete thanked his stars that Anita was in a hurry to get to work since the pace required to reduce the waiting time of the speedy pair to a manageable minute or so at each buoy was taking it's toll. Those are fast girls!
