Tyson's heartstopping moment (Update)

So here we are, Tyson splashing happily in the waves when he decides the rocks to our right look more interesting. Just as sure as I am of my name I knew what would happen next. He ignores all my screeching and plunges off the end of the rocky outcrop into a cauldron of swirling sea! Karin and I are in to our waists in total panic and the little blighter swims for the beach. He was a bit shaken since he did not expect the water to move so much and he had to paddle like crazy but eventually he did make it to the arms of hysterical hoomin! Here are some photos of what he went into: (Taken after the fact of course)
The outcrop now called Tyson's Quay

This is what he jumped into

lol silly boy. hope he has learnt his lesson!

Far out !!
Tyson if you are going to launch yourself into that sort of swell you need Winston's life jacket on!!
Bet you have a few grey hairs now Lynne!!

tyson's heartstopping moment!hows your heart doing!omg they do worry you

glad he ended up ok. i bet ur heart stopped aswell seeing that!

God I would have panicked like mad,

Glad he's all right.

Wow, does he actually have any common sense? And do you have any hairs left on your hair that haven't gone grey?

Thank goodness he had the sense to swim to the beach & not panic.

Tyson you little bugger, maybe he needs one of those life jacket things like Vanessa has for Winston

Jeez, that would'a worried the a$$ off me aswell ... the most beautiful oceon coast can look soooo awesome, but be soooo dangerous

Why do they put us through it!! I would have been proper stressing, I guess you know he is a strong swimmer but I'd rather not have found out in that circumstance!

That must have been very scary and so glad Tyson is okay

Flipping 'eck! Little git, I'd've been terrified! You must've been so relieved when he made it back onto the beach. Glad he's ok.

pleased he's ok , definitely a frightener . Lifejacket next time Lynne

My nerves are still shot but at least I will not have to worry about his swimming ability again. The fool is none the worse for wear. Chasing monkeys at the moment.

Update: Tyson was very wary of the ocean today. His exuberance of the past week seems to have been tempered by this experience.

Ummmmm, no use getting any older if we dont get any wiser

you must have had your heart in your mouth! i took hunni to the beach,it was the 1st time she had seen the sea as she was from the country side. alfie lept into the water like he always does and hunni jumped right in after him! the look on her face was a picture,she swam like crazy back on to the beach,gave me a dirty look and never went in again.

OMG, that must've been horrible for you! Thank god he managed to get to shore and be ok, appart from his waryness. Hopefully he will get over it, but not completley because you don't want him doing it again!

Yikes Lynne! I think my heart would have flat stopped and then I probably would have done something dumb like jump in after him.

Glad Tyson is ok and the little bugger for putting you through this. Hes a strong swimmer. I would have panicked and jumped in.
