How do you avoid the cross-channel ferries coming in and out of the harbour?
Actually this isn’t a problem because they go outside the break waters which we swim between. However they do seem to churn up the water – especially the Sea Cats – and create very cold patches that are unpleasant to swim through. More risky to the swimmers are the other harbour users – especially rowing sculls. The sailing boats are pretty good at watching out – although they are frightening when they bear down on you at full speed, only to tack at the last moment. The sculls are much more worrying since they row backwards at speed and hold the record as the only vessels to hit a swimmer so far – resulting in a visit to casualty.
