Just been for my Christmas day Swim

The weather is awful the sea was rough as hell. but after the lang walk to the waters edge, it was just a short run, jump, and free-fall. The cold water surrounded me. Its cold grip cradled me momentarily and then released me to my rebirth and the concept of What the F_uck wow

Happy Christmas wave

Merry Christmas my dear friend. Be careful, you can have a hypothermia in the cold water you know? I swim a lot Non, but it has to be at a very nice temperature. I swam in June in Lac Lausanne and with the ice, I could have been dead. I didn't know it was that very cold even in summer.

Well WTF is a good expletive when you get that feeling...

Merry Christmas dear pal.cheering wine

You're a brave man, Non. Very funny watching the annual Xmas day swim here. Hundreds of lily white bodies rushing into the sea and returning to their fleece a darker shade of lobster pink laugh
