Open Water Swims in West Crete
Another, slightly longer than yesterday swim in Viglia.
First swim of the month, a short one in Viglia. Some waves and wind and not a lot of energy.
This was my last swim for September. I went to Kissamos and swam a couple of km. A bit tired after yesterday’s long swim in Falasarna.
Today we invited an Irish family who is staying in Ravdoucha for a few months to go to Falasarna together.
Vincent and Sheila have two daughters like us. Their oldest swam with us for a bit, then went back with Fiona to play with her sister and Giulia and Sofia.
I took Vincent and Sheila straight to the shipwreck. I got a bit chilly with the initial waiting around, so we didn’t hang around the shipwreck for very long. It was good to go on a long swim with some other company.
After some days of bad weather, we went to Falasarna on a beautiful day.
We swam a good way with Fiona and Sofia, then I went for a quick swim to the shallow rock by myself.
The water is cooler now but still good, and very clear.
Today we went to Kissamos for a swim. We played with the ball in the water for a bit and swam around, then I went for short swim on my own.
I am going to Viglia a lot these days. It’s just a nicer place for swimming. This is a slightly longer swim.
Another swim in Viglia, in quite choppy conditions.
On this day we went for a swim with Giulia and Sofia. We saw quite a few things. A ray on the sandy bottom, a big, live triton shell, a lot of small fish.
We swam together for a bit, went back to shore together then I swam a little more by myself.
A very nice beach I haven’t visited for quite a while.
I went swimming with Fiona. Unfortunately the Gps battery went flat on the way back, so the track is not complete.
