Frann 882 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Cant beat the sea and like Malt, I grew up 200 yards from it overlooking the Gower you'd think you'd be glad of a break of it but no, love it. And you can't beat the Pembrokeshire coast 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 26,191 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Love the sea, always been near it. I'm the same with holidays, I don't mind a weekend city break, but a holiday involves spending half my time in or on the edge of water.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Huan72 687 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 There is something about the sea that draws me in, I absolutely love it. I think its the fact that it is a place that you just cant control, you have to work with it, not against it. Its humbling, the size and power of it and it demands respect, take it for granted and its game over. I have almost drowned a few times, once in a stream as a kid (does that count ), once as a teenager and once a couple of years ago when bodyboarding in really bad or good conditions, depending on your point of view . The tide was up and against the sea wall, I was being tumbled on the sea floor like being in a washing machine. There were a set of steps in the wall which was my only way out, the sea was trying to pull me back in with every wave and I was literally on the sea floor holding my breath, digging my fingers into the sand, I lined my self up with the stairs and let the sea spit me out and up the stairs. I didn't show enough respect that day, I should never have gone in near that wall but it wake me up Still cant keep away though, am in the sea when I can be, Love it 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We spend a lot of time on the coast so basic swimming is vital, but your so right you can never take the sea for granted, there's only ever one winner if you do... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same beach, no one about, lost track of time walking for miles along this sandbar. Got to the end to realise I couldn't cross there as the water was too deep, looked back and the tide had come in in the gully between my sandbar and the beach cutting me off. Booted it back up the beach to where I thought it would be safer but it was too late leaving me stuck about 40 metres out. I had no option but to go through or to call the coastguard but i'd rather not lol in I went and it was f***ing freezing and up to my armpits lol, so there's me wading through, camera and phone in one hand above my head whilst holding the pup on the lead in the other. I then had to walk the 3 miles home, f***ing soaked and cold but alright 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
