I took the dog and HD Jr. down to the beach for a walk today. The festivities included:
- watching a group of people getting knocked down by a set wave and seeing some guy frantically dog paddling amongst several logs trying not to get sucked out to sea. Luckily, when the suck-out subsided, it deposited him on the beach so his friends could salvage his soggy @ss.
- watching two 10 yrs old or so girls coax their toddler sister onto a stump in the surf. I ran down and warned them as a surge surrounded the stump with a couple feet of water and carried the crying little one to her mother who was too busy stringing a kite to notice that her children were in peril.
- watching some parents allow several young boys to swim in the surf when a wave picked them up and threw one of them over a log rolling in the surf. Fortunately, no injuries.
- watching a couple walking their dog get knocked down and seeing the dog swimming near the owners while still on leash.
And later I did something that resembled surfing at Punta Chi Chi Norte.
