On a lighter note, a photo put on by the press pa reporting the incident seemed to focus on the fact the Coastguard were rescuing a couple of wheelie bins ! This report was fuelled by some of our colleagues in our partner agencies and a couple of mischievous locals.
We shall protect the author of this report but just say our time will come !
This post seemed to go national and I know there was great concern for those bins so when the team returned to monitor the later high tide, the bins really were recovered and both are doing well.
So back to the serious stuff
At the time when the bin photo was taken the team had seen a boat in the surf but were unable to recover it. This morning it’s been confirmed as a sail and had come from the sailing club and now safely recovered.
Patrols deployed last night and again this morning to check the area. Various debris has been moved for the local authority to collect.
This stone and other bits of debris perhaps shows why when we arrived on scene yesterday we stated there was a risk to life along the coast. The power of the sea should never be underestimated to throw up sizeable stones on to the road.
One person was treated yesterday for a cut to their leg after been caught on the shore line.
Finally as ever, a massive thank you to the local traders who brought out or offered warm drinks to us yesterday during the incident.
