| Message | John McCormack,I was with Pete Marshall,whe he was washed off and drowned at Sennen Cove in Cornwall,we were crossing a shallow gulley to gain access to a rock platform at the bottom of the climbing area,a party of four,I crossed first the other two guys followed with no problem, Pete was last,he was virtually across,when a freak wave hit him,he managed to hold on ,then another big wave hit,he was gone,saw him for a split second,had the rope undone ready to throw or go in after him, never saw him again,sea conditions were fairly calm,as I was on a cliff leader course with Marines,I had crossed that gully dozens o' times,in a lot worse conditions,without incident,just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time,It could have been anyone of the four of us,still haunts me to this day that we were unable to do anything.

| Message | Forgot to mention it is the Ancient Secrets of the Island saying it was used by the Navy for target practice 1950-60 then a Nature Reserve. Interesting!! So it was the correct Island that others have mentioned. |
