Big wave!


Big wave!, originally uploaded by Rhian vK.

I said it was windy on Sunday, didn't I?

The 'Pont Aven', one of the Brittany Ferries fleet, was on its way to

Santander in Spain, but was battered by a 15m wave.

It broke windows on the 'pont-promenade', flooded some cabins, and a few

people were injured.

The boat was diverted to moor at Roscoff.

Some passengers said 'Never again!'

Others said it was a fluke, and felt confident about travelling with

Brittany Ferries on the future.

But I think many people were scared at the time.
