Expedition to remote Dalkey Island

Intrepid explorers from Vico Department of Maritime Services completed an expedition to remote Dalkey Island, far out in the Irish Sea. Braving treacherous currents and aggressive marine mammals the team successfully landed on the sole tiny beach, surrounded by dangerous rocks and dangerous mushrooms.

Sea temperature

I measured 16.5 today - both in the sea and in the pool. This needs independent verification. Any takers?

Sea Gooseberries on the rampage

At least that's the way it looked this morning through the facemask. Literally millions of them, along with a few Moons and Lion's Manes.

By the way, Lidl is doing swimming this week - wet-suits, masks, snorkels, fins; no anti-jelly-suits though.

Jellyfish have arrived

Several small moon jellyfish and sea-gooseberries were spotted this morning. I measured 10 degrees sea temperature.

Brent Geese at the 480 inch

The Brent Geese will soon be departing. The first tern of the summer was heard today too.
