Storm Desmond.

Voici la nouvelle tempête du weekend....Desmond. Code rouge pour ce weekend, vent a 120km/h, inondations, coupures de courant...Mais ca n'empêche pas les locaux de se baigner a Galway! Et oui on est bien en Décembre!

STORM DESMONDBy posting this video of Storm Desmond in Salthill, Galway I wish to highlight the absolute madness and stupidity of what these youngsters are doing. I do not know if they are strong swimmers or not, that is not the case, if any one of them got into difficulties there was no one there to do anything for them. The voluntary and rescue services are kept busy enough without having to worry about this type of stupid behaviour. Please God, everyone will have a happy Christmas, perhaps it could have been very different. I would like to make it very clear that I or anyone else do not condone or see any "macho" side to this incident. In a couple of hours this video clip has received 168,000 views across the globe and everyone is of the same opinion "fools", "eejits", "morons" and worse. Count your blessings and do not, ever, repeat this type of "stunt". Cathal Devlin

Update.

Pas facile en ce moment....Comme l'année dernière c'est tempêtes sur tempêtes ici. Beaucoup de pluie, les niveaux ne cessent de monter.La temperature de eaux fluctue un peu, 5.5º la semaine dernière et 7º il y a deux jours. Les tempêtes sont en general, sud/ouest, ouest donc les températures sont entre 3º et 8º, pas de gel les nuits.
Donc les possibilités de sorties en bateau sont rares.Ma dernière sortie fut difficile, pas de vent mais 4º avec de la pluie toute la journée sans répit ...
Ce coup ci rien au bouchon et a fond ( maquereaux, gardons, harengs..ect).
L'action fut brève mais musclée.Deux brocs seulement mais du joli fish!
