The swim in more detail - part 4 - the start


When we arrived at Samphire Hoe, Neil turned the boat around and I went to the back of the boat and slipped into the water. I then had a short swim to the shore, cleared the water, raised my hand to the boat and then the boat sounded its horn - my signal to start swimming (if you click on the black looking picture to enlarge it you can just make me out on the beach). So I got in the water and started swimming. Looking back, I remember thinking how warm the water seemed. Whether that was just because of the excitement of the day or it really was warm I am not sure - I wasn't complaining though.
