Went a year or two ago,Saturday about 6pm the greasy pole what a laugh 
They secure this old telegraph pole from the bank into the small bend of the sea inlet by the hotel cover it with grease. 
Then one by one people try to see how far they can get before falling off into the seawater The locals know how to do it with style.
