An early morning mid-winter solstice swim (apparently its a 'leap solstice' this year).  The sea was grey and dull looking but it was calm and there was some blue sky with sunlight breaking through. Amazingly I still have not resorted to boots or gloves, guess its still much less cold than this time last year. A short but euphoric swim.
