‘Article says this is the eighth drowning along the Outer Banks since April this year.’
this will no doubt cause these beaches to assign lifeguards; worst thing that could happen...at Margate, in Jersey, three guards were sitting on a tower, and wouldn’t allow anyone outside of their straight ahead vision; I was maybe twenty yards from that edge, and they’re blowing whistles at me...
I told them to stuff their whistles; I’ve been swimming in the ocean for more than 65 years, and don’t need the likes of them to save me; the blockhead in charge wanted to throw me off the beach, which he of course had no right to do, as I was breaking no rules...now I understand that in Jersey, you can’t swim in the water with no lifeguards present, anywhere, screw that...
you can’t pump your own gas in Jersey, either.
