Beach Report 12/30/21

Despite our WuFlu cases (yes, we're pretty sure Georgia has it too), we felt good enough to head off for a walk. It's cool, foggy, and we had a high tide, consequently. Very few teeth, only 4. 

As we were getting off the beach we met a distraught woman who was looking for her son. From Facebook:

Anyone that has a (boat) Or can help look shorelines & is able to help us with search and rescue. Ernie went out on his vessel yesterday & never made it home . Last made contact 3 PM call home to talk to his girlfriend  & was never heard from since his boat was found doing circles near Dare‘s beach later that evening with no one on board .  LAST SEEN - WEARING BLACK KNIT HAT, BLACK HEATED UNDER ARMOUR JACKET, JEANS AND GREEN boots .  will be heading out first thing in the morning . U can contact me on messenger if you need to get a hold of me. Any support would much be appreciated  Red areas would be hotspots to look

This truly sucks. The water temperature this time of year is less than 50 F.  The expected survival time without special survival gear is 1-3 hours, with exhaustion in 30-60 minutes.

Be careful out there.
