A beautiful calm sea and 8.5c temp this Thursday afternoon and a nice group of five swimmers.

Gary Frost is getting even more fancy – first movies, now GPS maps.  He mapped about 1.4km yesterday – even though I thought we were a bit closer to the Dutchman when we stopped: I could see the seaweed on it!

Siobhan was going to swim, but opted to take a few pictures instead – getting tired out from the pool and planning on a swim on Friday morning anyway.

One man and his beach.

It was low tide and handy for work so Finbarr Hedderman arrived, complete with Sandycove 1000+ hat.

Of course, with Siobhan on-site, someone had to be told “POSE!”

When Siobhan says Pose, you pose – Gary Frost & James Slowey.

Swim tomorrow morning, Saturday, at 08.15 as usual.
