Heard on the VHF on the morning of 22 September 2008

A report to the Coastguard warning of a 15ft dog in the sea off Combe Martin.

Hmm...

The report went on to say that this 15ft log also had 10ft branches. Thank goodnes for that - a log not a dog! The Coastguard replied there was not a lot they could do, but they would put out a one off warning.

A few moments later the message went out over the VHF.

It has been reported there is a 15ft twig off Combe Martin that may be a hazard to small vessels.

Hmm...

Dog, log, twig - whatever - just don't hit it, it's 15ft.
