“By nature I’m an optimist. I refuse to get drawn into the trenches of disillusionment and despair that I see flying around the world. I believe in our people. I believe in their pragmatism. I believe in their capacity to deal with challenge as is part of our tradition over the years.”

AN Irish “visitor” caused a stir on Monday when it was discovered washed up on Woolacombe beach.
The large buoy, part of Ireland’s marine weather buoy network, had broken free from its anchor and drifted to North Devon, some 270 miles as the crow flies.
It is normally chained to the sea bed off the Emerald Isle’s southern coast and collects a range of data for weather and marine observation, including wave height, sea temperature, wind speed and direction.
Swansea Coastguard Station told the North Devon Gazette its owners, the Marine Institute in Ireland, were making arrangements for its collection.
The Institute’s website lists buoy M3, normally positioned off the south west corner of Ireland, as “experiencing technical problems” at the present time
