A Nondescript Vacation Is an Awesome Vacation (Which Does Not Mean I Won't Write at Length about It)
I've been in Ocean City all this week (hence I'm quieter than usual, i.e., pretty much silent except for handling site-related stuff), home last night. It was a beautiful week for the beach and, all in all, pretty nondescript, which is sometimes exactly what a vacation needs to be

Yup. And I can't understand how people don't understand that. (Me, I'm a hills and mountains gal.)
I would have thought they would have kept them in to discourage swimming, but I figured that they assumed people would get in, Beach Patrol or no, and wanted to at least make sure that there was someone on hand
That makes a lot of sense to me. The beach we went to has always been swim-at-your-own risk; the lifeguards are at Pensacola Beach aka the tourist beach. Perdido Key's more where (some of) the locals went.
Now imagine if you'd slipped and fallen and couldn't swim ...
I didn't have to; I was imagining it as I staggered toward the water. While I can swim, I'm not a strong one (certainly not as good a one as when I lived in FL), and while I like to think I'd be able to escape…
I know it would be bad PR, but I really wish these beaches would put more emphasis on the fact that people who can't swim (or aren't wearing proper flotation equipment) really have no business in the ocean.
Me, too. It might prevent problems (though given human stupidity, I rather doubt it). It might look beautiful on the surface, but that's far from the entirity of it.
Eek! I'm extremely, extremely glad that he knew what to do.
