Cape st vincent
Gullivers thread on the Aden trip, and the photo of the rock at st Vincent, reminded me of a tale told by some of the old timers,
about how in days of yore, when monks and nuns living in that baron bit of coast were not as chaste as we asume they are today, got rid of the results of some of unholy couplings by throwing them from the cape and bouncing them of that rock and into the sea. Most of these old tales have been passed down the generations ,so there is probably a bit of truth there somewhere, Anyone else heard that story?
