The eastward expansion of my square has been limited by one tile in the Gooimeer. There's no land on the tile, so it requires a water approach. There's no nearby kayak hire places. Meaning, my best option is swimming. I had planned to get an early bus one day, then do the swim, and get a bus home. But I chickened out of soloing it. And asked a friend who likes to SUP, if he fancied keeping me company.
Tonight, we headed over that way, him with a SUP. Me with my swimsuit.
To make sure I was in the tile, I made a note of coordinates of a point 100m in from the corner...
There was a Bouy just a bit further into the tile that made a useful target to aim for.
It turns out the Gooimeer is not as deep as I feared, and for quite a bit of it I was able to walk along the bottom.
Tile bagged. We decided to make the most of a nice evening, and head for a nearby Island.
There was some boat traffic, including a jetski that was doing stunts and making a lot of noise. My friend went up to him via SUP, and told them what we were doing, and he went off to play elsewhere.
The sunset was stunning/
Total distance was 2km. I have very sore arms now.
But I can expand east now.

I expect tomorrow to involve DOMS. A lot of DOMS...
