Sea Fever Documentaries - Catch Them on Iplayer!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00scc8l

Here's a rare chance to see a series of documentaries which are incredibly important for the coast of Great Britain and in particular, Cornwall. There are numerous accounts of events (check out the first in the series about sea rescues) and rarely seen moving footage from Cornwall during sea disasters, rescues and also more light-hearted events such as the incredible emergence of surfing about 80 years ago.

They have absolutely gripped me, so I strongly recommend seeing them if you haven't already!

Some interesting archive from Truro cine club recording a helicopter placing the cross on Truro Cathedral. Well worth a watch for the sound of the projector alone!

Panorama from Porthchapel - making the most of the weather and the beautiful visibility...I saw about 35-40 dolphins enjoying themeselves out to sea. A really magical sight
