Severe storm strikes Western Europe in spectacular style

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 13 March, 2008 : - - An Atlantic storm smashed Southern Britain, North West France and Northern Spain last Monday. Two people were killed, a fishing trawler sank in the English Channel, a cargo vessel was blown aground on the French coast, with another going up on the rocks in Northern Spain and breaking in three.


www.swanseasurfing.com

The storm began late on Sunday, the trawler from Port Saint-Brieuc in Brittany sank in winds of up to 130 km an hour off Guernsey in the Channel Islands. The crew of five were picked up by other fishing boats. The Dutch-registered cargo ship Artemis was blown onto a beach at the Atlantic French town of Les Sables d'Olonne. Power lines were downed and power was lost in Wales and France.

British coastguard tugs helped a 7,500-tonne tanker with 13 crew members on board which was drifting in high seas off the Isle of Wight and escorted it to Southampton. Hurricane-force winds in the English Channel forced the closure of the English port of Dover.

Wave buoys west of Ireland recorded 58 ft waves at 13h00 Monday – the sets left the recording chart at 62 feet, The wave buoy off France/Brittany showd wave heights of 45 feet at 13h00. The tow-in contingent hoped the Basque big wave spot Belharra may work on Tuesday. A lull in wind strength gave reason for optimism, however on Tuesday morning the wave was breaking on only the bigger sets.

HISTORY repeated itself in Swansea on Friday 7th March 2008 as the city turned out to welcome The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh to open the £32m LC leisure destination.

It was in the summer of 1977 that The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh performed the official opening of the then Swansea Leisure Centre.

www.swanseasurfing.com

And they did it again when they came to open its landmark successor. The Royal Couple's tour of the building was part of a day of activities in Swansea that included a civic luncheon at the Brangwyn Hall and a visit to the St Thomas community in the east of the city.

www.swanseasurfing.com

Swansea Council has transformed the former leisure centre site into a 21st century water park with state-of-the-art health and fitness suites. The fantastic water park has indoor surfing facilities and a network of pools, slides and rides for all the family and is expected to attract up to one million visitors a year

www.swanseasurfing.com

Richard Proctor, Chief Executive of Bay Leisure, the not for profit organisation responsible for running the LC, said: "It is a proud day for Swansea, and for all the staff at the LC. After much hard work and effort from the team over the last few months, the LC is up and running and everyone involved is looking forward to ensuring that it proves to be a tremendous success".

www.swanseasurfing.com

"It's fitting that such a fantastic venue has received the Royal seal of approval, just as its predecessor did 31 years ago. I have no doubt that the people of Swansea will quickly take the LC to their hearts just as they did with the old Leisure Centre."

www.swanseasurfing.com

Andrew Nixon, director at Powell Dobson, architects of the LC, said: "We are proud to have helped Swansea regain its much loved flagship building.It has been an all encompassing project for us and we have been involved in an unprecedented hands-on team effort to assist the client and contractor to achieve an ambitious brief and programme".
