BBC are reporting that the RNLI have been busy in Devon and Cornwall.

It's not that big by the sounds of it but I guess holiday-makers aren't really ready for it.

Some of it made it here too as I've just had a lovely little session at Ynyslas.

I have the feeling that warnings like these really go a long way in preventing mishaps. I personally feel that Cornwall coast is really dangerous. You will never know what is going to happen the next moment. Some months ago I had gone there with some of my friends. It was really calm and we were having a wonderful time. Suddenly a huge wave came and swept us away. Finally we were rescued by life guards. From that day onwards I have never visited Cornwall coast.

To be honest thats true of the sea anywhere in the world. I lived in cornwall for approx 6 years, and its no more dangerous that anywhere.
