Sea Swim

[BLOCK F]

Went in yesterday.Lovely and there was also a very friendly seal in the water nearby who came to the edge of the shingle and was fed mackerel by some of the guys fishing down here.
Sorry no pics.

Had my first sea swim of the year at Seaford yesterday. Refreshing! Had the kayaks out too, great to see the kittiwakes from the sea where no-one else can get to.

This site confirms that the sea is colder than normal (for the time of year) around us. 14.3C, but that is almost a degree warmer than when I checked it Saturday so it is warming up fast. Historically, 17 August is the warmest day for sea temperature.

Went for a paddle and taught the dog (puppy) to swim at low tide Ferring beach yesterday morning. Bit of a nervous start but he appears to be a natural.

Went twice over the weekend.. Hastings and Shoreham. Bracing getting in, to say the least, but after a minute or so really invigorating. Felt quite smug afterwards.
