The Swim Around The Mount

 Rather cold with a Northley wind at Marazion as I arrived to watch The Swim Around the Mount - in aid of the RNLI Penlee
Lovely to get so close to Lady of Avenel that was at anchor 
RNLI Penlee Lifeboat Ivan Ellen always such a wonderful sight 
and for those in need a very welcome sight 
The recently named Penlee Inshore Lifeboat  Mollie & Ivor Dent

Into the water ready for the start 
Off they went - and out of sight 
First one back 
Second 
First lady to finish 


Loved the smile 

Towards the end - felt a bit sorry for this swimmer who got the wake of the Mollie & Ivor Dent 

Those swimming breaststroke were a lot slower but carried on all the way round 

Returning the comms to the shore 
The superb safety team who were out on boards 
After standing still for 2 and a half hours I couldn't feel my feet as they were so cold - as was the rest of me, so I felt rather guilty to leave this last swimmer still quite a way out 
A very quiet Mount with no visitors today
