re: Fellow fisherman lost his life wading

Being a mountain boy, the first time I ever saw or went to the beach over 50 years ago, I had no idea what a rip current was. Got caught in one at Destin and I came very close to not making it out alive. Bad things can happen very quickly. I feel for this man's family. Swimming is very strenuous, at least for me it is. He may have had a heart attack while trying to get to the boat.
