Weather update - still fresh.

While the weather wasn't exactly 'cracky' yesterday it was far from the 'horrendous' conditions alluded to by some members of the media talking the story up - relatively speaking for June may be, but in the grand scheme of things the wind failed to reach 40 knots at the SevenStones lightship near all the day's action. 

There are plenty of small fishing boats (all French) still working today off the south west just north east of Land's End and the SevenStones Lightship.

Not a pretty sight for the month of June

If you want to see conditions at sea match the terms 'horrendous' and 'extreme' (from the safety and comfort of your chair) sit back and watch this video taken from the bridge of the world's most powerful tug when she was called to put a tow aboard the Krokus a Polish ship that had lost power - and much of her deck cargo! After several parted tows it is not until daylight comes that the size of the seas they are operating in become apparent.
