Distance swim, in fear of on-water collisions

Today’s swim was a meli-melo, also known as a clusterf*ck, of directional challenge as 3 pods and two solo swimmers (not including myself) all took different directions to swim around the island. I live in fear of being head-clunked by some random who sights even worse than I do. Counter-clockwise people!! 2hrs pool, 1hr Meech Lake, 7km in.
