Philomena Waide


June 72 brought a very close call for Philomena.

Philomena Waide

"I am quite convinced that my guardian angel was watching over me that day."

The Story

Philomena went for a paddle in the sea at Portrush. She followed a man out a little bit further and suddenly an undercurrent took her and before she knew it, she was being taken out of her depth and was unable to return to the shore.


"I remember shouting and waving but I don't think anyone on the shore would have heard us, we were so far out."
