Water Descent Course
In 2002 I noticed that the "jump day" of a Water Descent Course (into Falmouth Bay) was on my 40th birthday. "Its an omen" thought I, and like a fool, volunteered. CARP'ed out by the Wittering Taff, from XV304, into the Bay's water of +16*C. Very thankful that my birthday is July, probably wouldn't have volunteered if I'd been a winter baby!
