The weather has given us two days of blue skies and light northerly breezes, so the ladies of the household have been swimming. Rachael took to the water off Ormsaigbeg yesterday evening with a juive - a cross between a jump and a dive.
This morning they enjoyed the rather warmer waters at Sanna. This is our favourite of the various sandy bays at Sanna, on the far side of the Sanna Burn, but....
....we found the beach already occupied by a single compass jellyfish. While the ladies agonised over whether it was safe to swim - the compass does give a rather nasty sting - some of us....
....relaxed on a rock in the sunshine and watched the ships go by. This is the
Eda Fransen, L208, a 1938 lobster boat built in Denmark.
In the end they decided to swim, and the jellyfish stayed away.
