A Cautionary Tale

[FishyFish]

There's Andy, coasting along happily until, shore as eggs is eggs, it's brought back up from Davy Jones' Locker. I'm all at sea as to why this keeps happening.

A lot of people get caught out on Lindisfarne making their departure time far too close for cuthbert and have to delay their Run For Home

While we were in the area a couple of weeks ago, Sue and I drove over the causeway to Holy Island. We even managed to drive back again without having to wait for the tide. I know that this is a non event not worth mentioning, but it serves to keep this thread alive.

Quite a few places around the UK you can be trapped by the tide and people have to be rescued...not about the tide but one secluded place in Ireland scared the s***e out of me at the time (and when I keep thinking back ) was when climbing down a face of a rock at about 45 degree angle, covered in dry moss on a sunny day, very near to a ledge with deep water for fishing......after a while a heavy mist come in from the sea and decided to call it a day and climb back......and you've guessed it when moss is wet.
Most people (inc me) often don't think of Murphy's law when dealling with the sea.

This is an all too common occurrence up here, it happens at least once every 3 weeks in the summer. The first part of the causeway lulls them into a false sense of hope but the causeway nearest the mainland, where the refuge huts are, rises at some speed.

Saying that a few years ago I had to drive over the causeway in the winter, when there was a near gale force south easterly wind blowing, and it covered the causeway with 2" water even though the tide was right out, that was weird!
