Back in Penzance, at the harbour, I was met by various sights, some of which you will see .... The lighthouse pier was closed, as there were dangerous waves. Frankly, I saw bigger waves on Carnsew Pool today. I am heartily sick of this nannying brought on by insurances and TV generated legal claims. I want to decide for myself if it is dangerous and if I want to take reasoned risks. I told this seal it was dangerous, but he seemed quite at ease staying here on the surface for twenty minutes or more.
