On a sad note

There was another drowning at Courtown. Unknown to us all, while we were having our presentation there was a car underwater barely 100 metres away with this unfortunate woman inside it.

This is the fourth person to go missing in Courtown Harbour and the third person to be recovered from the sea in the past four months. Despite intensive searches of the coastline, Una Hughes, of Ballycanew, is still missing.

I saw the squad car driving in behind me when i got back to the presentation and I was one of the first back. I guess that explains why they were there.

That's awful.

From Angling Notes in today's Irish Times:

In biting cold conditions last Sunday week, over 40 anglers turned out for a fundraising competition on Courtown's North Beach, Co Wexford. The event was hosted by Sea Angling Ireland and Courtown Angling and raised over €1,100 for the RNLI.

Results: 1, Simon Anglim; 2, Martin Howlin; 3, Dennis Brock.
