Lesley & I joined Jim & Phil for a quick dip at Hayling Island. Although the weather was overcast the sea was beautifully calm.
The water was 11.6C according to my watch. Just a simple swim - to the closest buoy and back. It took forever to get to the buoy and I had to keep readjusting the course and the tide kept pushing me to the shore. Eventually I got there and after saying hello to the others who were already there we turned around and swam back. It was then that I realised just how strong the tide was as we were back in absolutely no time. So fast in fact that I overshot!!
A nice day out.
