Picture a Day #74
RIP- wave action brings water onto the beach, RIP is the natural flow back out. It will NOT pull you under or further out that the breaking waves. STOP, LOOK & LISTEN before you go in.
Pictures provoke daily thoughts on water safety, if you have one, send in!

In these difficult times, our coastguards have taken a moment to pass on a message to you all, whether you’re about to go back to the coast & on to the water in England or whether you’re still in lockdown in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It’s sent from the heart…

At a time when emergency services are already stretched, please remember to follow government advice and #StayHomeSaveLives this weekend.
The @RNLI is asking everyone to carefully consider the need to visit the coast.

With sunny weather forecast for the long Easter weekend, we are advising people not to take part in any water-based activity on or in the sea. This is to reduce the risk to our volunteers and other frontline emergency workers, and the pressure on their time.

The Met Office are reporting strong easterly winds across Devon and Cornwall and moderate to rough sea conditions, particularly on the south coast.
Anyone entering the sea in this warm weather is advised to be aware of the conditions and take extra care.
