Talk about surreal. We started this morning with a gorgeous sunrise and by the time I got out of the water (50 minutes later) it felt like I was swimming in the English Channel. I’m not gonna lie, it was pretty damn cool, even though I felt like the Loch Ness Monster was ready to pounce at my first sign of weakness. In a nutshell, you become a faster swimmer when cryptids share the water.
