The main thing about this quick sea dip was being able to get changed at home and wander straight down to the beach, just over the road and down some steps.
The water temp (30 May) was just 13.5C (bath thermometer tied to wrist!) and a north-easterly wind whistled up under my swimming hat but the sun was still peeking over the cliffs, so bobbed happily about watching kite- and windsurfers for 15 mins.
The flexibility of living this close to the beach is wonderful, and there seem to be no rocks just here, so bodes well for regular sea swimming this year.
Our rented place is apparently named The Beach House (almost small enough to have been The Beach Hut) and in the garage we've found a brightly-painted slate sign to prove it. Having taken this first home-based plunge, seems it's time to get the sign up, and the summer underway...
