98,5 and peaceful?

I said that it was hard to measure how far I swam in the sea. But then I turned my brain on, and realised I could swim up and down parallel to the beach, not just out to some mark.
The last couple of days I did just that. Not very far - 1km yesterday and half that this morning, before work. The sea is full of seaweed and sand (I hate sand as a rule) near the shore, so surfing isn't as fun as it might be. (I only body-surf - I have tried to ride a board once in my life, when I was ten. It went OK on tiny waves, but I never went back to it for no good reason).
Swimming in summer rain, while my towel is getting wet and sandy. It's not so harsh - afterwards I feel good. I am just waiting for the jetlag to wear off and stop waking me up early enough to enjoy it before I have to go to work. (I thought that would happen today, so I guess it counts as a bonus).
