[Leica] IMGs x 5: November plungers yesterday

[Douglas Barry]

Philippe and Don,
Thanks for the comments, but alcohol is the very last thing I would 
drink before or after a swim - especially after, as my hands tremble and 
shake: the water is very cold at Seapoint.
It's much colder in the winter than the deeper water at the more famous 
Forty Foot. Conversely in the summer, it's much warmer. This is due to 
the fact that the beach is long and flat, and the sea water inches up to 
the high tide level over cold to freezing sand, getting chilled even 
more. In January, February, and March, I never swim at Seapoint, but 
instead head the 3 kilometres east-south-east to Sandycove.
