Swimming in the North Sea


We're in Anstruther, Scotland, hiking the Fife Coastal Path on a trip led by Team Long Run and I took advantage of the opportunity to do a little sea bathing. As Mrs. Bennett says in Pride and Prejudice, "A little sea-bathing will set me up forever!" I couldn't talk Ellen into joining me, and she wanted proof that I actually got in the water, so I took a video.

It's amazing how, before you get in the water, everything--water, air, wind, seems frigid, but once you're wet, everything seems comfortable! All the same, I didn't stay in for long.
