Friday 23 March 2018 – time is bet spent swimming

Ocean swimmers are so keen to focus their time on ocean swimming that they economise on prepositions. “Getting out” and “getting out” for entering and exiting the sea but also “Getting in” [to the water]and “getting in” [to the beach]. Some people may be confused but ocean swimmers are not. Today every one was keen to get in and have a swim although the waves were really more suited for dramatic footage of BIG WAVES.  Mike below thinks they are not too big but I am planning a walk to half way. We are both looking forward to getting out into the sea

Kit has swum already saying that it was a bit choppy going to Shelly and swift coming back. I am confirmed in my half way plan

Some handsome swimmers

some fluoro swimmers lined up to note ONE WAVE IS ALL IT TAKES, recognising mental health issues – I almost did not recognise our Babewatch people because they dont usually have tops on

These brave souls were getting out through the waves

walking around to halfway

Alternative route t getting in at halfway

Where has all the sand gone? Can’t middle management back a truck up to the fence and drop some in  to save my sore toes from walking on bare rocks
