THURSDAY 27 MAY 2021. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.



Beach Buoy reached the car park at 6-46 pm.

A Scout group were being busy bees.


There was a wind off the sea.

The tide was on the way out.

High tide had been about an hour ago at a guess.

Beach Buoy headed South, narrowly avoiding a near miss by a Dog's ball thrown by a lady nearby.

He headed south towards Stubborn Dog Stack.

The sea rolled and ran.

Beach Buoy stumbled and walked with his hands planted deeply in his pockets.


A man beach-combed nearby with a blue plastic bag and a flat cap.

The finds went into the bag.

His head went into the hat.


As Beach Buoy continued South, the wind was picking up more than the Flat-capped man.




Beach Buoy went to Stubborn Dog Stack.

It had been disturbed.

Around twenty stones had been removed and thrown around; it is going to happen.

Beach Buoy replaced them and added a couple more.

He went down to the beach and carried the heaviest rocks that he could carry.

He made a start surrounding the stack with much heavier stones.

If they want to disturb those, then they are going to have to work for it.

Five was a start.

It will be fully encompassed and kept in good order.

A cable drum side becomes driftwood.



He made a half-hearted attempt at FINDS.

"That's what Tiggers Do."

The Sun hung below a hanging cloud as he headed for the van.




There was a commotion in the distance.

The lifeboat was just offshore.

Ambulance and Police on Promenade.

Coastguard on beach.

It turned out to be that a Jet Ski rider had broken his leg badly and was off his machine.

They say he was in a bad way and his companions distraught.

A local sea swimming club; The Brass Monkeys happened to be on the beach and swam out to save the man.

Well done.

BEACH BUOY.
