Spring Training Camp (by Julian)

So just back from "Spring Training Camp" - otherwise known as Miami. Unfortunately I saw very little of the sun since it was work from 4:30am to 10:30pm in a windowless hotel. But I did manage a swim in the sea and a run along the beach...



The swim wasn't exactly like Dover...the water was probably 70-75F rather than below 50F. The water was a blue rather than green colour. But the waves did bring back memories and after 40 minutes, I could feel the salt beginning to bite under the arms.

Somehow I doubt on Saturday Dover will be like Miami. For a start the BBC weather forecast for Dover says "Heavy rain showers" with a 13mph wind. So should be lots of fun in the "washing machine" that is the harbour, when the wind blows.
