I laughed and laughed and laughed, not considering how deadly and treacherous the sea could be.

I was at the shore in Jersey a few years ago when the surf was very similar to this. Dove in with the exact same hubris, considering myself a pretty decent swimmer.

I was pulled into a channel of swirling sand, grit and current with such speed and ferocity, to this day I have no clue how I kept my head and swam, perpendicular to the shore, to get out of it.

The next wave scooped me up and SLAMMED me into the surf. It receded and I crawled out, shorts around one ankle, weenie flapping, before any eyes on the beach to see.

Better half wasn't laughing at me but she didn't, at the time, realize that I was seconds from death.

Make no mistake, that surf is hairy. Still, I agree with some of you guys who stated he was a pussy. If my old lady was dragged out into that, I'm going in, too.

How do you stand there and watch?

Well, that's an extraordinary way to flee from a date.

He did try. He actually tried very hard considering the huge surf…

Does anyone else here live near the ocean?

FUN FACTS ~ Even with the 100° weather this week, the water temperature at Hampton Beach in NH today is 59°… Cold enough to kill. It’ll get up to 65°, but no more.
Normally after being in the water, you just start getting numb and it aches. You just can’t stay very long. It’s like how your hand feels when you try to hold onto an ice cube.
Fun times!

“Per the National Center for Cold Water Safety, you should generally avoid swimming in water below 77 degrees Fahrenheit because anything colder than that can start to affect your ability to breathe. Aug 18, 2023”

It has been quite a weather week up here

It has been! But I love thunderstorms. I was pretty disappointed that we didn’t even get thunderstorms yesterday, never mind the ‘possibility of a tornado’…

I work for Eversource, so I am glad we didn't get a Tornado. I'd be working for days on end.......again

[AngelAssassin]

Oh wow!
You must have been out straight for weeks after that last snowstorm in April then… That was crazy.
