Couldn't believe it!

So last night we've got a full boat. We'd been everywhere fishing, looking for Dolphins, watching the seal - my boys and my sister and her kids were all loving it! On our way back from Port Quin the natural path back to Polzeath is to head between Pentire and the Island. Now on the best of days there's a strong current running. So anyway, we're chugging along and these two people start waving at us from the cliff top on Pentire. We wave back. But one them keeps his arm raised. We kind of clock this and think that something doesn't seem quite right. Then we catch sight of a person in the water. A young girl, 25ish she's treading water and waving about 100 metres from the rocks. Stunned we go over and pick her up. Okay so she along with her mates had scrambled down the cliffs at Pentire, had swum out to the island and then two out of the three had made it back, whereupon the two had scrambled back up. The girl said she'd been in the water for four hours!! Maybe the adventure had started four hours earlier - who knows?

But she was totally cool, slightly chilled even from the water temp, but it wasn't like she was going under. Whether she would have done give more time - who knows. But talk about a ridiculous plan!! I cannot even begin to understand what they were doing. Not smart, not clever. But all ended well - bit of a story, few red faces. No one hurt and that's the main thing.
