I haven't lived on the Oregon coast since 1983. I do still get to beachcomb there once a year, usually for 2 days. I find I still remember how every summer there would be hysterics because someone either got caught by a sneaker wave, went out on the rocks when the tide was coming in, or got grabbed by a riptide.
I also find I don't turn my back on the Pacific until I'm above the high-tide mark. Those like 5 years being right on the beach apparently drove that one in pretty deep! Oceans are, indeed, not safe for humans. |

A screen grab of shipping in the English Channel this afternoon in the vicinity of the Goodwin Sands with the East Goodwin light vessel circled. There's a managed traffic system through the Straits of Dover with SW bound traffic on the English side and NE bound on the French side. What complicates matters is the constant to and fro of the cross channel ferries marked in dark blue on the map. See www.marinetraffic.com One man survived the capsizing of the South Goodwin light vessel (referenced above) but no trace was ever found of the six remaining crew members. Quote:

A sort of Atlantis, but rising and sinking twice a day.
One thinks at first that sand would be less dire than rock, but this shows that it has its own terror. "...survivor Ronald Murton, scrambled through the skylight and into the inferno that was raging above." Though it must have been hell-like, "inferno" struck me as a strange description of conditions on the Straits of Dover in late November (this very date, thank you Bruce). |

Poppycock, the same aliens that built the pyramids moved the natives from island to island.

I still think 'Goodwin Sands' sounds like someone's name.

Pretty sure Goodwin Sands played in the Tower of Power.

Sounds like a typeface, Goodwin Sans
