Teignmouth

Bad weather in July (and a lot of June) meant I couldn't go in the sea. This picture, looking from Teignmouth sea front along the railway line to Sprey Point, was taken on one of those days; a very stormy Sunday morning. It was raining too. I think it was about this time that the topknot, a bouldery lump that always did look a bit precarious, fell off Shag Rock.

Maidencombe

A short swim with basic kit around the sides of the cove. Visibility was very good and the water was warm enough in the shallows and there were those nice warm spots here and there. I didn't see 'very' much and my dives needed practise, but all in all it was a very agreeable afternoon at beach. There was another snorkeller around, and later a pair of scuba divers surfaced at the side of the cove. We had walked over from Teignmouth (getting some good views over the Ness and back along the coast) so very gratefully got the bus home.
