Dark clouds and an unsettled sea that seemed to be encouraging me to go home…

Colder water but warm sunshine made for a great lunchtime swim…

Getting ready to go, watched by a lovely gathering of supporters…

A warm sea, a cold breeze and a winter jellyfish…

An enjoyable early morning swim…

Lovely support from Winterfest friends and my Mum…

Another 500m in a choppy and debris laden sea…

Another day in paradise…

A delightful day for a great swim…

Some extra pain to deal with today…

A strong wind ensured a lively and challenging swim…

A very serious start to today’s swim…

A strong wind produced some impressive swells for the first swim of February…

Leaking googles, a low afternoon sun and a brisk north-westerly…

A fast swim in a calm cold sea with PB on lookout…

Misty and pretty cold…

Not many better ways to spend an afternoon…

Another 500m for fun…

Thanks to my boss for changing our meeting time, I managed a bonus swim…

A brisk south-south-westerly, rain and 4.6 degrees in the sea combined to make a challenging return to the water…
