All washed up

The plan for Sunday morning was to get up to the station to do some jobs, however two passing friends noticed something floating out to sea just off the Tourist Information Centre and that was the start of a recovery.

This item was a pontoon and if left could have caused a few problems so we basically self tasked to ensure it was brought ashore. On arrival it was almost ashore and kitted up with full PPE, we dragged it up the beach to ensure the tide was not going to take it back out.

Oddly Pete from Divers Down arrived with a big smile and thanked us for our efforts, a knife and spanner later the pontoon was broken up and loaded onto Pete's trailer and within 30 minutes there was no trace of anything left on our beach!
