Just a correction on a point of detail above.
The reason the Lifeboat didnt return to its boathouse at Sennen Cove was due
to conditions actually across the slipway at Sennen, rather than the open
water swell.
We hoped there may have been an opportunity to rehouse this morning at low
water, but once again conditions didnt allow the tricky transition from sea
to slipway.
Over the years this happens occasionally, although its been a while since
our Lifeboat spent more than a day in Newlyn.

Thanks for that.

It amazes me sometimes how the lifeboat gets launched when Cowloe is a
mass of foam. It must be a matter of very good timing.

All the best
