Hey all

Planning to celebrate my Irishness without a hangover tomorrow and wondering if anyone's planning to dive tomorrow?

Am going to test my sea worthiness with the Dalkey Island snorkel. Last year I thought I was going to die, this year I shall be part man part fish!

Do you know what I might head to that, I'd forgotten all about it! Great cause!

great, the more the merrier

Okay just back from the swim, that was tough but enjoying the sense of achievement. Well almost achievement a bad gamble on the turn of the tide meant I climbed the rocks further down stream and walked up the last bit. I still reckon it counts as I got back to the starting point under my own steam!

I'm so glad I did it too, the sense of achievement after (finally) making it back to the pier was awesome! It was tough going alright though, especially when it got a bit choppy and the turn of the tide ruined me getting back to the pier - it was like swimming on a treadmill, I had visions of having to get an embarrassing tow for the last 100 metres..... Roll on next year!
