Yep, the water was cold. I did a full swim the next day, and Gordo said it was even colder than the day before.

But he has no blubber, which I have in spades to insulate me.

Think three hours for a short sesh, unless your name is Chasbo Bolling.

The next day the fish and chip shop lady had recently gotten back from New York. It's a small world. |
