re: Rip tides: Beach’s deaths along Dauphin Island to Destin this week

Funny you say this. This was the scene 30 feet from our spot on Pensacola Beach just Wednesday. A swimmer went out and down in a rip tide and after hours of searching, lifeguards, a dive team, and other authorities never found the poor guy. It was surreal to witness this so close to us. Very, very tragic and put a huge damper on the rest of our trip but we did use it as a teaching moment for our six year old. The current was very strong this week, stronger than I’ve ever experienced and there were numerous times when I had to get out of the water for fear of my kid or even myself wearing out and being swept out. Yellow flags flew the entire week. The water is definitely different from years past. My wife told me if I went too far and got caught in one she was going to piss away all my life insurance money with another man that she was gonna find that same day

We were in Destin 3 weeks ago. This is a picture after I got back to my family. A kid had an inflatable in red flag and got swept out. His uncle, who couldn't swim went after him. I ended up going out to get them. Wife was not happy.

People who set up tents at the beach are insufferable

Subtle, I’m vacationing under a tent in PCB brag.

Wow, I was just east of you about a mile on Ariola and it was a little rough but I did not know all that went on. Damn
