As 2019 puts on its coat it’s natural for us all to begin to look ahead to the adventures that next year will bring. The dark winter evenings and the luxury of a little time off over the festive period, will see a lot of us sitting down with sharpened pencils to draw up our swimming wish-list for 2020. But just hold your horses for a moment, because 2019 isn’t quite over. There’s still some adventure to be had if you look in the right place.
At this liminal time of year, there’s no better way to find that adventure than in salt-water. Putting yourself between the sea and the sky, drawing into yourself as the cold bites and feeling your skin ablaze with the salt and the fury of it puts many things into perspective.
