The east coast of England faces the North Sea, well known for being stormy and rough. On this particular day it was blowing a fierce gale, and the waves were enormous. Perfect for a little field recording I thought. I set my gear up on the beach, close enough to be able to pick the waves out from the almost deafening roar of the sea, but far enough that the waves wouldn't actually reach where I was standing. That was the plan. In reality this was the last recording I managed to make as a few minutes later a freak wave shot up the beach and took both my gear and myself out completely. As I write this I'm still waiting for my recording equipment to come back from the repair shop. Oh the joys!
