Update from the Battery Rockers - it's cold in there!

Although the sky had an intensley warm glow to it in the early hours of this morning the sea still has a decidedly wintry feel and look to it - as confirmed by some of the hardy Battery Rocks' swimmers who avail themselves of perverse pleasure as they take to the waters off the Jubilee pool every morning - come hail or snow.

Of course, on days like the one above the swimmers have to make do with the (relatively) calmer waters inside Penzance Harbour!

Here's a comment received today from them: 

"You are right it was cold, by the time we went down at 7.30, no more sun but a fantastic light..the Battery Rockers don't agree with radio saying sea is at 10ºC - we measured it at 8ºC this morning and 6ºC in the air, even WE think we're mad!!!"
