Be Prepared

109

All the Hawaii news stations reported that 7 people had to be rescued.  They also said that there were no life jackets on the boat.  What they didn’t report was nobody should have been out there that day.  And they also didn’t report that the boat is still there leaking gas and oil.

Then I see this guy walk up with his sponge surfboard.  I could tell that he didn’t know how to surf just by the way he was carrying his surfboard.  Totally clueless about the ocean and conditions, he took off his t-shirt and headed to the water.

Just by the way he was paddling, I knew he wasn’t going to make it out.  This beach has no lifeguards so if you surf on days like this, you better be prepared.  This is not prepared.
