Another set of fabulous conditions for those chasing the personal best times. An occasional meter of swell but combined with a north-west zephyr hardly even being registered, made for a very clean surface. We will see a small SE Pulse tomorrow but then it will fall away to nothing by end of the week along with the air temperatures.
The 21 degrees in May is all a bit hard to follow but no ones complaining so make a swim while the sea's warm.
Seemed the 6.30 crew were early too.
We headed off a little ahead of the pack today around 6:50 and only had remnants of the 6:30 pack returning, otherwise we seemed to have it all to ourselves except for this swimmer basking in the magnificence of the sunrise.
The obligatory lone paddleboarder on the return leg from the Bower.
This shot was just under the surface but kind of hard to tell up from down.
One of the 6:30 pack on the homeward leg, sped past us.
And this was about as busy as it got.
Shelley was very peaceful.
All round great conditions and worth getting up for.
Around 190 adventurous souls apparently with 5 new starts and with conditions like this it should be a great week as the southerlies gradually drag the temps down for the weekend.
Hard to believe 21 degree water in May.
See you tonight if you have been able to get a ticket for the Penny Berents show at Bluewater. Lots of very eager people.
Have a great week.
