Used to live in Plymouth when i was a child and have fond memories of the sea tractor ❤ I think perhaps this ride was a bit late and must have stayed too long at the pub 😂😂😂 Brilliant recovery ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for posting this. I am currently writing a novel with a sea tractor featured in it and this proves that my plot point is valid. My childhood consisted of trips to Bigbury from Plymouth for an evening's swim. No other cars there then, no carpark. Happy days.
The old Sea Tractor had caterpillar tracks. When I was seven I can remember going across to Burgh Island on it in worse weather than was shown in that video clip.
@@KempSimon that must have been really neat to visit. I only know of Burgh Island from Ben Howard’s EP album of that same name. Beautiful song/ album. Its interesting to see what inspired that
Lordy! Thank goodness no one got washed overboard. That high swell would have drenched the poor passengers and their luggage would have been soaked! Not the most glamorous of arrivals.
Who's driving? Richard Smith, Richard Giles, Danny Jordan? One of those guys methinks. All staff at least by the look. I've seen the head chef walk through that sea in a wet suit cos it was too rough for the tractor. He vanished from view once or twice.😂
I was down there on Tuesday and have been across on numerous other occasions. Although it looked like toppling over I don't think it would. Has it ever happened? btw i uploaded a video of Burgh Island yesterday if anyone fancies a look
Pretty much a routine crossing. I can remember going over to Burgh Island in 1967 on the old Sea Tractor - the one with caterpillar tracks - in worse weather than that!
Also sometimes the tide is so low that a sand path can be seen going towards the island and we walked to the island once but on the way back the tide started getting high but we still got back
I go there for holiday once per year to see my cousins its a great beach you can see dolphins, crabs and basking sharks if you're lucky but sometimes you'll see a jellyfish in the water and they are freaky as hell.
If a person ride's that crazy death tractor in bad weather they give you a wet suite & a life vest in case the ship goes down. Any one must be out of there mind to ride that crazy thing in bad weather.
what an asshole he was taking that out in that swell especially with a child on board total lack of grey matter called a brain and he should be fined for that stunt
