Up with the birds and @thehappypear for a sunrise dip in the #IrishSea #Greystones #swimrise (For any sensitive folk out there, remember that I’m Irish too, and the bit about the lobsters is just a joke: For anyone who found themselves concerned or moany about the Happy Pear swimming on the morning of Ophelia, just so ye know, the sea was calm, the air was still, the sun was shining, and Ophelia was still hours away from hitting Greystones. It was safe, and respectful to the ...honourable coast guard. The Happy Pear posted a photo of the swim, as they do most mornings, and received criticisms which led to them removing the photo and publicly apologising. Anyhow, I was there that morning also and I thought it was quite funny, and ironic, that they got criticised for swimming on one of the calmest mornings of the year. It reminds me of that joke about the lobsters in a tank with no lid, and a person is worried they might climb out of the tank, and then someone else says ‘Don’t worry, they’re Irish lobsters, if one of them tries to escape then one of the others will pull it back down...’)
