GTR stay safe you RNLI boys and gals in this weather. not a nice night to be out on the sea. watched that penlee film very sad it makes you sit up how strong the sea is and such brave chaps trying to save those on the union star.

Well this is the view from my office this week. Covering mechanic for sennen cove lifeboat. Some nice 30ft waves breaking over the breakwater when I turned up yesterday, and at the moment the weather looks like its coming in worse still next weekend! Hope we have a quiet week.

thats all right then if its only a force 8 or 9 not a 11 like sunday monday. see the barometric pressure for judes was 972 87 was 927 so not as strong. still if out on the sea a gale can still rip up the water if tides running the right way i would not like to be out in it not even on a big ship.

round your way with the goodwin sands i bet it kicks up not a nice place to be near in a storm. been on there in good weather. honary member of the goodwin sands potholing club:confused1:

ha. really? next time your down let me know. will give you a guided tour.

 

the sands are ok, its getting out of the harbour that is a problem, in easterly winds it rips past causing a big swell. can get lumpy, and if the tide is right you can ride it in and the wall gets very close.
