Title: Really scary day at the beach
Post by: peternap on June 13, 2011, 08:00:50 AM
I was trying to shoot a jellyfish video yesterday at a place well known for jellyfish and horrible currents.

I found both and due to a thunderstorm, the water was so turbid I couldn't get clear pictures...plus I got all cut up in the current.

Worst of all, when I finally got out of the water, visibility was WAY TOO GOOD. :-\
The video:

The shore [shocked] [shocked]

 [cool] Peter.  But generally most people get out of the water when there are jelly fish around. ;D

Out of dozens of comments I've gotten about that picture, that is undoubtedly the BEST! [rofl2]

Grateful I didn't have a mouthful of beer when I saw this--it would have come out my nose and ears!

Don, we have lots of sand.  The tide has been out for a few million years, but lots of sand.

Crack Kills, but it could have been worse.... I could have been there in my Bikini without my work clothes under it....

Glenn.... Glenn, Glenn, Glenn.  I need to go wash my eyes.
Peter, the shore was scary, but the jellyfish were really cool to watch.  I didn't realize there was a link to the video the other day when I saw this topic.  I have to agree, though, most people are trying to get OUT of the water when there are a lot of jellyfish around.

That wasn't really for the beach.  I was trying to prove that to be really safe you need to wear something they will see.... I don't really dress like that.  I just have this thing about getting ordered to wear a stupid safety vest when it will make me less safe and catch on fire possibly burning me with melting polyester.  I mean... lets be safe ... not pretend a plastic vest makes us safe.  The Bikini is safer as everyone looks at it.....

The beaches are still safe....

Sorry, Homey... I only wore it for 2 hours.... heh

Just noticed the Love Tattoo on the original... don't know what else could have caught my eye.

Ha ha ha, well, maybe I should suggest this to my dad next time he ends up on a job with a knothead for the safety guy.  Bet it definitely got peoples' attention!
