LIFEBOAT LAUNCH TO CLIFF INCIDENT - LLANDUDNO
Llandudno RNLI inshore lifeboat was launched just after a quarter to four yesterday afternoon (4/8) following reports that two young men had been hurt when jumping into the sea from rocks near the foot of the Great Orme headland.
Llandudno Coastguard and an ambulance crew had also been scrambled to the incident near Pigeons Cave and when the lifeboat arrived off the cliffs the casualties' condition was being assessed.
After a short while it was decided to walk the pair up the rocks and slopes to the marine drive, where the paramedics were waiting, rather than evacuate them by sea; the lifeboat therefore stood by off the cliffs until this operation was completed safely before returning to station at 4.30 p.m.

Funny, I  moved from near one lifeboat town to near another (Cromer probably being best known or the exploits of Henry Blogg:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Blogg).  Maybe one day I'll get to learn more about these probably amazing vessels.

New lifeboat traveled from Poole to Brixham yesterday, and has just set off, on it's way to Newlyn near Penzance, as part of the 400 hundred mile trip.

Things are never so bad that they can't get worse.

I never said it was your fault; I said I was blaming you.

I have the Marine Traffic app on my phone, it's great for when you're out and about and spot a ship.

Today's passage from  Kilmore Quay to Conwy, at the time of posting this, they are just off Holyhead, well on their way, but I believe they will have to wait for the tide, before docking.
