Have you been out in the waves yet this summer? It can often be a real mark of the begining of the summer holiday, that first submerging in freezing ocean water. It's even the case in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington where author, lawyer and columnist Brannavan Gnagalingam has been searching for a perfect sea swim. It's been a big year for Brannavan with the ongoing massive success of his novel Sprigs, including winning the Ngaio Marsh Award for Crime Writing for best novel. So it's about time for a swim!
