Red flag in Seapoint today but water temperature was actually lovely. All set up now to drink 13 or 14 beers and eat a few kilos of barbecued meat.
How’s the weather your end mate? Been raining all day here and cold.
Actually nice day here all day me oul pal. I fear we’re in for a fairly typical Irish summer this year though rather than the anomalies of the last 2 years.
I was swimming with Claire and Paul and Damo yesterday over at East Manchester, when a lass got in and apologised and said she’d stay out of the way. I told her we were doing a set and she’d be welcome to join us. Grand so, she said, I’ll go at the back. After a few hundred metres I suggested she’d be better at the front.
Anyhow, talking to her after, it transpired she had swum the channel. Doing butterfly.

Great day for it lads. Tis easy get in when it’s raining and the wind is cold. Warmer in than out. Off for a nice coffee from the station now. Oh to be alive.

I was out for a swim this evening at high tide just after 9 after doing the cliff walk from Rathmoylan to Ballymacaw. A big contingent of the local Amish community out for a stroll on Rathmoylan beach to finish off their day of Sabbath observance.

I went for my first dip of the year last night - lasted all of 45 seconds I’d say. Sea was ice cold.
Where was that?
Mid Rock

Harry Styles was in for a dip pre gig.
I had a swim there in Ballyheigue a couple of weeks ago. It was pissing rain and there was barely anyone around. The water was lovely. Warm enough to be fair too.
I went for a swim at howth beach on Monday the water was glorious stayed in it for ages.

All day. Both are good to clear the head though.
Barrelling over to high rock once madam is in bed
Lovely time to go out. I was tied up all day Monday and didn’t get out until well after 10. High tide and was 10.45 with the last bit of light going when I got out of the water.
