Shrimp Platoon spent the night down Roker ready for the summer solstice sunrise - the cloud this morning had other ideas unfortunately - but what an experience. BBQ, banter and a laugh with mates.

Next weekend is the solstice so we’ll be dipping Saturday and Sunday ❤️

Tomorrows dip (23/05/26) will be in honour of the amazing Majjie Margaret Lewis who passed 3 years ago today. She was a member of our little group, and she looked forward to joining us on a Saturday, even when she wasn’t well.
We will be joined by some of the ships company from HMS Middleton - which she would’ve absolutely loved. Mags was as anchor faced as me ❤️
See you all in the car park next to Sue’s Cafe (SR6 0PL) from 0745hrs ready to get in the sea at 0800hrs

This morning, we did something a little bit different - thanks to H3O Beach Saunas

Fab morning - even the lemongrass couldn’t spoil it (although I did think I’d melted my eyelashes off 🤪🤣)
