Despite my unsociable working hours I am determined to swim today. The sea unfortunately doesn't want to cooperate with me this week and the tide is all wrong, I wait in the soft glow of the sunset for the tide to turn. The kite surfers are out in force and a guy zooms up and down the beach on a go kart pulled by a kite, so I wait a while. It's cool but not cold so eventually I strip off and wade out. There's absolutely no point in hoping the water will get above my thighs so I dive in and try to not knock myself out on the bottom. I love floating about with the red glow on the water. It's choppy but nothing to West Bay. I have to get out after about ten minutes to move my clothes back as the incoming tide is so deceptively fast. The second dip is lovely but I begin to feel that evening chill and work awaits me so I finish up. I arrive at work flushed and salt encrusted.
