@Max:

Winter Joys…

We're making the best out of heavy snow and cold weather: Whisky, Opera, Bobsleigh rides and so on. Have a good new year's eve everybody!

Lovely series of photos Max.

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.

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..
It is (to date) 100% waterproof, so I can carry car keys, phone, clothes, shoes in it.
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)....

@Giles:

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.
