You said — “I’ll second that. First thing I thought of. Reality set in, and maybe she didn’t meet some expectation of his.”
Nope, with the kind of weather that they were describing (20-foot seas and the Coast Guard had to turn back after 15 minutes...) — that tells you it was *bad* out there. They were foolish, not being more careful in that surf on the Oregon Coast. It’s dangerous and you are not supposed to turn your back to the surf — ever...
