It takes the plunge
“I was doing Photos of the storm with my wife and my son. I parked the car on the side of the road and went down the first taking my little hands. I saw someone standing on the beach, who clutched two people in the back. A man and a woman of a certain age. I gave my phone to my wife and I went spinning them a hand “, testifies Eric, who lives in Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau.
Swaying by waves
A new wave carries four people. But Eric and the first rescuer managed to grab the husband and go up the dune. In the meantime, the septuagenarian is still at sea. “She was swung for ten minutes by the waves. It fell by fifty meters with the surf and returned “ says Eric Roudaut.
” I would like to know how they will “
” I am inverted in the water. Three or four times I’ve had in hands but she escaped. The waves were too strong. I finally managed to grab him and a very big wave brought us back on the dune. Three or four people have helped me hoist and stayed with her until help arrived. When help arrived, I went home to take a hot shower. Since I have no news. I would like to know how they are. I heard they were in the hospital and it seemed to go “.
