I remember 10 years ago standing ankle deep in sea water on Coffs Harbour Beach, NSW, Australia, David was fishing off the beach at the time. An Australian man walked into the water to where I was standing, took me by the elbow and said "come with me" we walked out further until the tide was up to my knees. If he hadn't had hold of me I would have easily been swept off my feet, the rip tide was so strong. That was in less than two feet on water - lesson learned, beware the power of the sea even in very shallow water.

Overcast and chilly here in Oxfordshire today, but at least it's not raining

LOL@John

Seems the worst of the floods and storms could be about to hit the UK coastlines anytime now, especially Aberystwyth.

A huge amount of damage already and predicted waves coming in at 6 metres plus in height!

Be warned people, stay away and move to higher ground if you can. Call for help now if you think you need it, rather than leave it until it's too late. Trouble is I guess those who are in trouble, won't be reading this in the forum, so keep an eye on the vulnerable please.

Regarding Aberystwyth, we've booked a 5 night stay there in July (booked through POE I might add) at a place right on the sea front. I had an email this moring asking if we wanted to book a winter break there this week. Think I might just give that a miss Smile

Rick, when are you lot NOT shoveling snow, eh?  LOL!  We on the east coast are bracing for a brief but brutal blast of arctic air rolling in here tonight and tomorrow with high temps in the single digits at best, and likely subzero at times.  Searching for my thermals as we speak.....
