I've not been for a swim in the fjord yet, but the water is crystal clean, and I'm reliably informed that it can be over 20C at this time of year, although I think I'd try my toe in the water before I jumped in. Oddly enough, Shetland is the place for green water at the time of year that there is a lot of algae around. I've seen times when reeling in a fish that I couldn't see it until it hit the surface.
Well, OK, the name is actually Robbie, but for some reason which I can't remember, but has something to do with some verses I have written in the Shetland dialect, I ended up with the nickname of Auld Rasmie, and it kinda stuck.
Anyway, I'm a Shetlander through and through but now living in the beautiful West Coast of Norway.
And enjoying it.
Yup, Preston Docks is the same but not so lumpy, water very green too, no swimmin
