We couldn't have been more than a few feet apart Howard when everyone took to the waters. As you observed, as soon as they were in it seemed they turned around and came ashore again. But that's being a little unfair as most went back for a good old splash around!
In
Out again
The exceptionally high tide didn't allow too much movement on the beach but the main thing was everyone seemed to have a splendid time and should be congratulated for an excellent turnout. I would have gone in myself, but a long time ago I was shipwrecked and since then have developed a strange aversion for getting cold and wet when there's no particular need to do so!
