There has been great activity on the sea at Dawlish in the last month. A large section of the sea wall is still closed while repair and construction work continues, thus many people may be unaware of all the comings and goings; we, on the other hand, have a balcony view of the proceedings, which is why I can bring you the good news – the big rig gave berth successfully to a baby rig on the 12th January! Ever since then there has been even more toing and froing across the bay – a little one always brings interest.

This morning – thirteen days on –  four eager well-wishers came visiting in their canoes.

Chris took photographs of the happy event and some of the comings and goings.
