Swimming in circles

Today the winds have remained strong so we stayed in Anaho Bay. Heather has made cinnamon buns and we have fresh vegetables so the food front is looking good.  The wind however has stirred up a good chop making the regular swim round the bay Heather and I like to take a bit hazardous,  it is not easy to see 2 heads in the water even if towing a swim float, with the waves and the large numbers if small boats wizzing around we have had to stay closer to home.

Our swimming exercise today has been laps of the boat, morning and afternoon we have completed 10 circuits, it sounds simple but the waves and wind push up quite a current, going from the end of the dingy which is tied to the back of the boat to the anchor chain takes 56 strokes, back down the other side only 19. Quite good training really,  big effort one side , relax on the other and repeat.  You may think us crazy and your probably correct but its what we do!
