It actually went out last Wednesday which amazed me, as the sea was
bigger than it was this morning. I think it's because they have so
many gigs to get over in time for next week ends world championships.
http://worldgigs.co.uk/ I joined the crowed watching it as the bow
ploughed into the waves before lifting way out of the water, and that
was just the far side of Mousehole harbour., God knows (assuming
you're religious) what it was like passing Sevenstones. Then the
interest passed to the cars left on the pier overnight, nicely bent by
morning by the sheer weight of the water coming over. All offshore in
the Bay currently, but it may become interesting when the wind turns
SE & brings the swell in.
