A terrible price to pay.

The sea is treacherous for those not used to it. When my kids were very young we almost got trapped in a bay in Devon as the tide was pulling in. My wife wouldn't listen to me, chilling out, and it's the most furious I've ever been with her. Anyway, I lost it and insisted we leave and carried both of the kids out whilst I was drenched to my chest.
She never said much afterwards. We had a lucky escape. I reckon we were 15 minutes from real trouble. In this current climate messing with the sea is very ill-advised.

Terribly sad.
We're very lucky in this country that we have remarkably brave souls prepared to risk their lives saving others.
