Dang. That kind of thing scares me more and more as I age. The end so near and one doesn't even see it coming.

That's so sad. It's scary how wrong things can go in a hurry while we are pursuing our love for the outdoors.

That's terrible and scary how fast things can turn fatal.

A friend raced down the beach to alert another boat in the area. Moments later, Heggeman went under. "It was about 15 minutes between the time they lost sight of him and when they found him," Clark said.
Might should have raced down the beach to alert another boat for help before swimming for it.
Jeez... There is a lot of current right there in and out of Mobile bay.

I almost drowned off Padre Years ago when I got caught in a rip tide. Hauled me out to 20 foot of water bouceing me along the bottom. Always remembered what my mom told me as a kid, when in the ocean an swimming , if you get tired turn and float on your back. I did this and it saved my life. You literally can not sink. I kicked off the bottom and floated nearly a mile and then was able to swim to shore with the waves.

I really don't know much about rip tides but going to beach in Destin in a couple weeks. Is that something you can get caught in right off the beach swimming in?
