Swimming in the sea in Cassis is a delicious delight for me. Whenever I'm there, I aim to take the plunge at least twice a day. Are you the type to wade in gradually, or do you dive right in? I prefer to jump right in.
Cassis' beach is not sandy; instead, it is full of pebbles.
Lately, I have entertained the thought of swimming at night, but something about that dark water and sky made me question what lay underneath.
Today, I did my usual jump-in. There weren't as many people in the water as there usually are. The sea was crystal clear. I swam out further than I typically do. I looked at my feet and wondered how deep it was below me, and I saw something brown; assuming it was a rock, but as I looked at it closer, I saw that it was moving and then realized it was a stingray. I shrieked. A brief thought went through my head," I am never going to swim at night."

The first thing I did when I arrived home was look up stingrays. It said the stingrays are a shy fish. It said they don't attack unless they feel threatened. I thought out loud. OK, I was in a bright pink swimsuit, wiggling like a worm. I guess I thought I wasn't delicious enough. Thank God for small miracles.
Would you swim at night in the dark sea??
