      What's the thinking behind the buoy G? Visibility for boats, or safety for you? I imagine at those temps if you stop moving and hold on to one of those you'll freeze.

            It's a Tow Float.  It serves 3 purposes.

            1. It is highly visible.  The Solent is one of the busiest waterways in the world, I like to increase my chances of not being taken out by a boat or jet ski.  Also really useful when we are swimming long distances a long way from shore, our shore support can easily see us.
              Here is a bunch of us in the summer..
            2. It is (to date) 100% waterproof, so I can carry car keys, phone, clothes, shoes in it.
            3. It is buoyant so if I want to stop for a pint of beer a ciggie and a chat, it makes things easier.

                      Today was the annual swim in support of our local inshore rescue station.  I did not take part, just went along a watched.  In retrospect I am seriously pissed off that I did not go in.  So it's def for next year….

                      Here are some pics - (not mine)....

                              My sis just sent me a few pics of my last swim.  She loves rubbing it in…..

                              Ice floes in the Solent are bad luck @Giles  . In that case go to the bar.  In any case go to the bar.

                              Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                              Well, I have others.

                                            Yeah, but you're a professional zipper-upper, would an ordinary common or garden sausage fingered tosser be able to do that to?
