Saturday - Storm Antoni

Well ! Storm Antoni arrived, with the wind already round to WNW by the time we got up, but there were plenty of huge gusts - 69mph registered at Gwennap Head - so I persuaded Jim to only take the dogs to the field 

I wanted to pop down to Longrock and walked down to the beach first - hard to stand up at times

Really wild out towards The Greeb Rocks

Not sure this was the safest place to be - you never know when there is going to be a much larger wave

Penzance Helicopter managed to fly all day 

Looking beautiful out there when I got home, but it was still gusting well over 60mph

Afternoon walkies past this Painted Lady resting from the wind on the wall

Long waves this afternoon

Vessel Fri Porsgrunn that came in from Limerick to anchor in the bay

THV Galatea at anchor

Swallows were zooming around the big field

One of the best shots I've managed - they're so fast

Lots of surfers this afternoon

Maisie hoping the Swallows had followed her down the hill

RoRo/Cargo Delphine with her Flettner Rotor sail(for better economy) shining white in the sun - it is tiltable to enable her to pass under bridges

Dramatic end of the day
