Winter Solstice get together

Looking forward to the Solstice Gathering at Budleigh Salterton beach later today.

Temperatures are 11 deg and overcast, with a very slight chance we’ll be able to see the sunset.

Water temp 11.7 C, just below the Dec. Average for Budleigh. The Sea keep cooling down through the winter and minimum temperatures are usually in March.

Fresh South-westerly wind indicates very clearly the direction of the setting sun (behind a thick layer of clouds), and it seems like all the water in the bay have set to attack the mouth of the river Otter.

Attempt to swimming in these conditions would be considered quite stupid, so we decided to enjoy the bonfire instead.
