As someone that has grown up surrounded by beaches and done surf life saving, I know how the sea works. Lots of people dont. Every summer multiple tourists die here because they don’t respect the sea, if you’re going to the coast, here’s a thing I saw on Facebook.
wow.
reblogging for all of us that grew up in land locked states, then visit the ocean and are used to just plunging into a lake.
All of this applies to Lake Michigan, as well. The rips aren’t as big, but they do happen. We lose tourists every year.
2nd on the Lake Michigan one or all of the Great Lakes for that matter. My grandma sat me and my sister down when were little to warn us about this.
Stay safe guys!
Australian here 👋🏽 if you’re coming here for holidays and you’ve never swam at a beach before, especially densely crowded ones like Bondi or Manly in Sydney, do NOT jump straight in the water. Tourists who’ve never swam before constantly end up getting dragged by a rip and in a literal sea of people, it’s not easy to identify who needs help. Ask a local, ask a lifeguard, swim between the flags and stay safe!
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
