i figured i'd tell you this one:
we had a blast that entire time we were down there for the 2 weeks. everyday we'd head down to the beach around 10:30-11:00 am and then stay down there till like about 3:30pm. so we were usually down for like 4-5 hours and such.
well during that period of time, a person sure can see a lot of weird stuff down there on the beach. occasionally we'd see a few dolphins and whatnot and other times i would see rays jumping out of the water doing backflops which was really neat. and then there were the funny things that we'd see too. like watching other people's umbrella's blowing over and collapsing and this other thing. these two women were out in the ocean a fair distance with an inner tube. and also there was a strong wind from the south that day and the current was moving south to north.
i'll tell ya, if you let go of that inner tube for a split second, it will be up the beach faster than you can say "aw crap there goes my inner tube". and that's exactly what happened to these two ladies and one of them let go while the other one was swimming along side and the wind and the current took it upstream so fast, you wouldn't believe it. and i watched and that big inner tube just drifted to the north and out to sea until it was just a tiny speck on the horizon. and then it just was gone. some story huh?
