Day 7.180: Mission accomplished

At some point over the last week or two I decided that I really should swim in the ocean at some point this summer. Sunday turned out to be the day - although the water was really quite cold and I didn't stay in for long, I did actually swim a few strokes just after the moment my Dad caught below.

We also made a rather good castle - Exile #3 and Exile #4 can be seen above making the now mandatory graveyard, forest and amusement parks. The bottom right picture shows it surviving until it was time for us to leave the beach - it had done rather better than any of us had expected.
