Let's Be Careful Out There
It's probably not exactly news to anyone on the coast, but Frances is pushing a helluva swell ahead of her. It blows my mind that she's over the Bahamas and we're already feeling this kind of effect. Does anybody know the distance between Rhody and the Bahamas in nm's?
I took Mrs Crafty to Second Beach for a surf session yesterday (this is my 41st year as a surf dude - an old surf dude, maybe, but I can still rip on a good day) - anyway, it was a very solid 6-8' and building with a killer rip - literally- and undertow in a coupla hundred yards of Maytag style whitewater -
Sadly, I ust heard on this morning's news that a 20 year old surfer drowned at Green Hill Beach.
So I'm not gonna state the obvious - just use your head for more than a hat rack, as Dad used to say.
Be real careful out there - there are gonna be some damned big sneaker sets coming thru and don't let yourselves get fooled by the lulls in between.
