Gorgeous nearly-full moon floating among the trees to the west. Very brisk breeze, churning dark waves, intimidating, yes.  But one major badass suited up in neoprene and boldly ventured forth.  TTL did sensibly stay in sight of shore between the rocks, but was clearly enjoying bobbing in the sizeable waves.  She looked a lot more comfortable than did the Wim Hofers.  I got a great photo of her emerging, silhouetted against the sunrise.

First photo is Linda The Lamprey on the left and TTL on right.  Third photo shows Wim Hofers in the foreground and TTL and her pink barbie near the rocks.

I asked TTL whether any of her friends who swam with her back in August might be coming down in the near future.  "No," she said, "we just have one crazy lady!"

When TTL shared that she was frozen to the iron barrier, I knew I had to blog.  She reported her barbie and her wetsuit also froze during the changing process.
