The L and T are unusual enough here at the best of times but to have them
in amonst this lot!!!

Tides were incredibly high - we have had half fields under sea water !!!!!!

ish - floated a 12x 10 shed across a field and into a fence. !!! we have
had waves lapping across our fields -- not seen in 14 years. Hopefully will
find out the last time in the next week or so. Its been interesting
