TURNING TURTLE

I had my first swim of the season today.
It has been a cracker day here, the best since last Summer.


The water was still a bit cool at first but once in - marvelous.

As a wimp I wore my 'rashy'- the swim/surf top.


The top keeps me warm, helps avoid sunburn and hides the 60 y.o. girth.

I used to look like Donatello's David

Note how cold the water must have been

Now I look more like Donatello himself

I'm glad you wore the suit.

Good on you for taking a dip. I've seen a couple of brave kids and divers in the water. People maybe don't realize that it is the currents that affect water temperature not air temperature.

I took Jaxon down the beach today and had a wee paddle. The water was indeed warm enough to swim in!

Well if you are paddling in wee it's not surprising that it was warm

More importantly, I'm glad The Curmudgeon wore the suit.
