Yesterday, perhaps inspired by the whales, Peter and I took our first pool swim of the season – brisk but wonderful – realised how much I miss our daily swim in the winter. Soon it will be time for the first sea swim. Of course there are those amazing souls around here who swim all year but we are not in that brave bunch.
In case any of you are worrying about sharks in view of the recent tragic event in Fish Hoek, our beach is not frequented by Great Whites. They prefer open expanses of water and beaches where they can cruise up and down unimpeded. There are too many rocky channels and kelp beds in our area. Even the seals seem to feel safe in our part of the coast.
