It's a lot. I'm at 300ft and looking at it, my place would be beachfront property.


Nice cruising country though!

Cheers Pete
I couldn't take a pic as I needed to hang on and was worried about my phone getting wet.

If you want to come out with me tomorrow, you could take some pics looking towards the Hoe while I am driving.

We could also see what it like at the breakwater

Here is the Seven Stones wave buoy. It's building rapidly and meant to peak at 38ft. The Red Bull Big Wave event is going ahead today around the Gwithian area off the North Coast of Cornwall. Four wind surfers from around the world are gathering to ride what they call the biggest surf on the planet at this time. They have a Web Cam up of the action.

There's two. Relax though. Its not real.

Ian I'd love to, however I've already been to the yard and your Rib is asleep in its Dry Stack, so I came back home. I'm down again at 2pm though

Pete, I had been there most of the day, left at 17-20 as you did not show, my rib is out of the water cause I can and it isn't going to be bashed around on the pontoon side on to the weather.

I was working in the shed, I am there again tomorrow pop down with your camera and we will go out.

See you tomorrow

I'm not sure you were Ian

I was down there at 7:30 till 9:15, had a chat with James about selling his Boat Thunder, him and Steve were inside working on the Forklift, greasing it up ready for your lift

Went back down at midday and left again at 3:30, was cleaning out a Ribeye 785 prior to the customers viewing. Had a cuppa in the cafe with Jan then left the yard. Didn't see you or your car, your Rib had moved from the top to bottom rack though. Must have missed each other.

I'm busy tomorrow. Family day enjoy it out there though. I will watch out for the footage on the news 😳

In the shed with my car as it has my tools in, I was in the shed before 11am and left at 5-20pm, if you don't want to go out its not a problem, you don't have to act brave, just say no.

Possibly going to Falmouth on Monday if your interested

Steady on chap, it ain't bravery going out on days like today. Its stupidity. I'm happy to go out, just don't see the point in going out when the weathers shite, temps are down and nobody else is out there playing. I've better things to be doing.

Catch you at the yard soon I'm sure, I've supposed to have a sea trial on Monday anyway so you never know...
