Dangerous weather, dangerous sea.
Heavy skies over Newlyn, like most of the country...
and big tides too...
mean the harbour is full of boats...
taking shelter from an unseasonable gale...
a deserted quay...
anyone with any sense would stay well clear of the water's edge - on a weekend that saw six people lose their lives in separate incidents - and the media still use terms like freak waves as if to lessen the blame on those who seem unaware of the dangers of the sea - hard to believe in this day and age.
