Changing it up, big time.  After weeks of clear and relatively calm waters - a Beach Hazard is issued - Emergency, emergency, everybody to get from beach



A previous version of this announcement specifically mentioned 3-5 foot waves, and it specifically called out Atwater and a few others (but not Klode) as particularly dangerous.  Wondering if they took that off, fearing it would be seen as an advertisement for surfers (at Atwater, right?)

Roaring to Life
We were the Dirty Dozen this morning you were guaranteed to be covered with bits of bark, even if you'd only waded out to your knees.


A boy and his Barbie
                                     
We were definitely Rough Riders this morning!  
She was a rough rider
A strong whiner
Who start to whine 'n whiney
I had a hard night
Last night
Lord, me feel so broke up today
Lord, me feel so broke up today
Lord, me feel so mash up today
She was a rough rider
A cool stroker
A winding bush
She chop di wood
Me had a hard night
Last night
Yeah, alright
She was a rough rider
A rough rider

I think the waves were 2-3 feet though not 4-6 inches!

Was hoping you'd like the song, Dragonfly.

How's she looking today? Was thinking about a swim during the day but not solo if it's still scarytown up there.

Jen Koch and Jessica were the anonymous duo. What a day to pick for first swim in a few years! Water was beautiful though.
