re: Night swimming in the ocean

I read it as son in law

Which ocean?

Last time I tried it, I got attacked by a bunch of Humboldt Squid. I barely escaped.

Not smart. I won't do it again.

We used to live on the north shore of Oahu (hence my username) and used to camp out on the beach almost every weekend. We camped on the western half of the north shore, down by Dillingham air strip and the polo field. It was close to where the plane crash scene on Lost was filmed.

Anyways, we were out there or two or three days at a time, so we'd usually do our business in 'cat holes' we dug in the woods off the beach. One night, I woke up with terrible stomach pain and knew I had to drop a deuce immediately. It was dark as hell, and not wanting to stumble around in the jungle, I decided to pop a squat over the incoming waves on the beach.

I'm deathly afraid of sharks and as I shat in the water, I became more and more apprehensive. I could feel the eyes of something cold digging into me. I finished as quickly as possible, yanked up my shorts, and hauled arse back to my tent and warm sleeping bag.

When I woke the next morning, I had forgotten all about it. I set about getting the fire going and my wife and kids began prepping breakfast. Searching for driftwood to kick up the fire, I set out down the beach. That's when I saw it, only feet from where I'd relieved my self a few hours before...























my shite was all over the beach.

It's really awesome to do it at dusk and sunrise.

Depends on where you're swimming. Florida? No. South Bay beaches of L.A.? Go for it. Body surfing or boogie boarding at night is the tits, although the swells at those beaches are smaller at night.

Make sure no purple flags were flying that day. I wouldn't worry about sharks, but you can't see jelly fish at night.
