Open water swimmers ready for the swim from Tórshavn to Nólsoy (the island ahead of them). Only about 5K in a straight line, but the current typically slings you way south (to the right on the picture) and then back again north so fast that swimmers sometimes have drifted clear off the island before being brought back on the other side. This year the currents were calm, though, and the path therefore relatively straight.
