16,661.7 km to belfast
Shortest day. The sun came up while I was on length eleven, orange, straight out of the sea over the wall.
Kirra's still coming, and this year she actually swims. Head down, proper breathing, and she only swears on the first length. She says she's going for the whiteboard. Vic pretends that's of no interest to him and checks every morning that she's been in.
Water 18.
Bridie's May postcard:
3,104 LENGTHS. 77.6 KM. ASHORE AT BALLANTRAE.
WENT IN THE SEA AT HELEN'S BAY SUNDAY. 12 DEGREES.
DOESN'T COUNT, IT'S NOT LENGTHS.
YOU'D NOT LAST A MINUTE. B.
She's showing off. She was always showing off. I'd forgotten how much I liked it.
Me 371.7 with Kirra's, Bridie 77.6. 449.3 km between us.
