SAFETY

PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO VISIT BIRNBECK ISLAND AT WHAT SEEMS TO BE LOW TIDE. THE WATERS HERE ARE VERY DECEPTIVE AND THERE ARE UNSEEN RIPTIDES TRAVELLING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT CAN EASILY HAPPEN TO THE UNWARY. THEY WERE VERY LUCKY. HAD THEY NOT BEEN SPOTTED THE OUTCOME OF THIS UNFORTUNATE EPISODE, ALMOST CERTAINLY, WOULD HAVE BEEN OF A DIFFERENT ORDER OF SERIOUSNESS.

Click on the Lifeboat logo to see how serious it can be, they were very lucky.
