It’s cold Atlantic on the rocks today.
Hard to believe this coast was raging a few days ago. Now comparatively tamed, the swimmer can choose from a wide range of rock faces, cinder-type outcrops that lace the seaside and provide depth for swimming out and around.

Started of in a clear gash in the rocks, that went from sandy ochre, to deep dark green. It was quite scary, and was glad the sun was shining and brightening at least the surface profile.

Climbing over another section of rocks, brought me to a larger pool and seemed very deep, especially where rocks overlapped under the surface. Launching out brought some confidence and I swam around the sharp cinder rocks back into the first small covette.

The morning is gorgeous and the Atlantic weather fronts are not yet formed. Swimming here is really wild, and just as God has intended things to be. I respect His ocean, for it is dangerous and unpredictable.

What joy to be able to dip into it…
