THIS is video of what happened when a couple of 'rougue' waves caught people unawares on a Brittany beach on Monday of this week. It just shows how dangerous current conditions are and how it is best to steer well clear and not walk too near the sea. Fortunately, the couple were saved and the outcome was not tragic as it could have been.

I was just reading reports that rescue teams have called off the search for Mike Read, an RSPCA inspector who went to rescue a group of stranded gannets caught in the storms near Penzance on Sunday. A tragic end to a selfless act but maybe discretion should
have prevailed; it must have put the rescue crews in great danger as well.

I've lived by the sea for over 45 years and the very first thing you learn is the power of the sea and to stay away when it's rough. Despite all the warnings there are still people who think they know better. The problem is not only do these stupid selfish people put themselves at risk but other people trying to save them.

Another coastal sea dweller/lover here OP. It's primarily the 'storm tourists' that get caught out. Anyone who has felt the thunder of the waves beneath their feet or seen the power of the ocean toss tonnes of weight around like balsa wood knows to show the ocean the ultimate respect.
