The moon does it

With all the moon landing celebrations we should point out just how important the moon is to us

It regulates the tides and gives us the magic rule of twelfths that makes it all predictable.

if you want to learn more about how it all sits together check out our website;

Learn why the moon is so important to tides


next swim Thursday @7 - watch this space as venue may change! ! ! !

Capsize drill

jedi got good and wet this evening- capsize drill is about as much fun
as you can have on a boat - in and out constantly boat flipped and
righted constantly

It's easier than it looks and tonight we had a virgin crew go from
belly up and wet to righted and dry in 26 seconds.

It will be a long time before we see that time broken, a very very
long time.

No sat swim this week . next swim Thur at seven, monster tide sat week - event planned !

Dublin emergency services sea swim 2009

So normally we have Rlss lifeguards and lifesavers on the beach

Today Coastguard, RNLI, Ambulance, Dublin fire brigade, Gardai,
Beaumont A&E, Airport police and fire pretty much anyone with a blue
polo shirt.

The event was moved to our home beach on Claremont for logistal
reasons. A great day had by all.

Never before have we had so much rescue on the beach and in the water
with perhaps the best start possible from Howth lifeguard

Well done to the organisers- it was an impressive event - pictues to
