Day before

Well, the email went out to work and the Facebook membership has grown to 8 people.
A little apprehensive, but at the same time feeling quite excited. First Ormering tide of the year is New Years Day, and the next on Saturday. So L'ree bay at 12:45 on Saturday is when I start my Ormering challenge. For this to be a "success" then I feel I need to get a least one, then cook it and eat it.

Next update should be just before / just after I complete my New Year's day swim.

Happy New Year all
