This was filmed in the mid 1990's on a short overnight trip to the Wolf Rock Lighthouse. This Lighthouse is famous for the amount of rough seas it gets. When Keepers did 2 months on board followed by one month ashore, it wasn't unusual to be stuck there for days and even weeks longer because of the conditions, especially when this was boat reliefs.
The storm sequence I managed to capture was from the safety net up on the helicopter deck. At one stage all of the granite tower is engulfed in the waves, only the lantern and me on top were clear, and as this tower can and does get waves right over the top, I decided to get back inside!
