http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2010/11/07/16016146.htmlRescue teams are searching for a 28-year-old man that was swept into the waves at Peggy's Cove, NS Saturday evening.The CBC reports that the man was watching the waves with his girlfriend near the lighthouse at the tourist site when he fell into the water. The girlfriend was not hurt.
Two officers searching for the man also fell off the rocks at the scene but they were rescued shortly and taken to hospital where they were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
When we visited Peggy's Cove in October the winds were so strong it was frightening to stand out on the rocks.
I was trying to get some photos and really didn't think they would turn out well because I couldn't hold the camera still.
I can very well imagine how someone could be swept off their feet and into the high waves of the ocean if they get too close to the edge.
How sad for this young man and his fiance and family.
