A small island, set off from the beach, inhabited by cormorants and a white cross of Christ, sticking up to warn of the dangers lurking below the surface.

I set out for the island, about four hundred meters away from the shore, in calm, clear quiet seawater, just perfect for a swim. Unfortunately I didn’t quite make it to the island, but I intend to return again, when the tide if fully in.

The water is very placid and draws the swimmer into the jade-like depths.
