The Sea

[Beach Hut]

Very bracing to say the least !

Just been over Shoreham beach for my first swim in the sea this year.

Is it nice and warm?

Reasonable for the time of year, quite a chill still.

Left it late this year normally swim in the sea the first May bank holiday - that is usually freezing.

Have they moved those oil tankers yet?

I still can't swim in the English channel. I did so as a child, and saw a turd float past. I've never really wanted to again.

(Having said that, my dad swims in the sea most days during the summer. He once found a twenty pound note floating past).

Off Shoreham?

Probably a bit of bog paper discarded by one of McCartney's rich neighbours.

Went in the sea today at Birling Gap. More nippy than I expected but gonads have thawed out now.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

I don't like swimming in the sea much.

Although one reason could be because im not a very good swimmer

Off Kemptown. Probably used to snort cocaine at a Sussex Square dinner party.

I used to swim at Southwick, across the locks, every November. It feels warmer after you go in from the colder air, and I think it retains some degrees of heat from the gulf stream and the fact that were on a continental shelf

I was swimming in the Sea yesterday in Dieppe. If you think the Channel is any warmer on the French side you are very much mistaken! I even managed to chaff my ball sack due to it retracting so violently!
