The sea looked OK from a distance, it really wasn't too rough - until you actually got to the beach. The new beach profile meant that the waves would advance towards you in leisurely fashion and then at the last minute become monstrous. Emma, Joan & Pete entertained the notion of a nice swim but the fickle sea meant that it was really hard to even approach. Pete studied the waves and took his chance. He got in and managed to get away from the surf. It was a bit scary and after a few minutes, he thought better of it. Trying re-entry was fraught with difficulty and he didn't time it well, getting tumbled and losing his goggles to the sea in the process. They now join the sundry odd gloves, weed and bits of exotic turtle among the detritus which line the beach every low tide.
We continue to learn about the new beach and hope that things settle down soon.
