Details |
With all the rough weather we'd had during the week and an outgoing tide, visibility was not going to be great. After entering at The Steps, I descended to the sand line and headed to The Monument against the outgoing tide. Visibility was probably around 5 metres at The Steps but gradually dropped as I got closer to The Monument and with the dropping tide. It was probably around 3 metres at The Monument.
After looking around The Monument for a while I turned and swam back with the tide to The Steps where I exited. |
