Took the family down the beach earlier today, There is a little creek that runs pretty warm that's good for them to splash around in without too much drama.
All is good for about half an hour until a Jeep comes thundering down the beach and through the water, I'm not real impressed as we are clearly visible and its a known family spot.
The wagon tears off up the beach, turns around and comes back, I get my kids to move upstream, sure enough the jeep is going even faster, tears through the water and speeds off, Im thinking "fuck you", as I'm glaring at them I see its 4 chicks. This can only end badly.
Again, they tear off down the beach, spin around and come thundering back through the water, even faster then before, big splash of water, big grins.
And again, they tear off, turn around, thrash through the stream, only this time they follow the water line, I'm thinking "you dumb fuckers" There are pools all along this beach, all hidden by nice calm water that's only 3 inches deep, Boomfa, they hit one going hard, big wave of water, the wagon almost disappears, emerges from the water, and comes to a stop, windows are opened and out leap 4 idiots.
Soon enough the rest of there group appear and set about trying to free the wagon, No chance in hell, Shes buried deep and the tide has turned, I walk into the dunes as I saw some guys in there earlier in a Hilux, I tell em whats happened and we go have a look from a distance, They flat out refused to take there wagon over to pull em out, No surprise there as the reason I had gone to find them was so I didn't get roped into the bullshit.
Anyway, Twice the group sent a delegate over to ask me to tow them out, Twice I refused, There was no way in hell anything less then an anchored winch or a piece of heavy machinery was going to budge them, Hook up a tow rope to my wagon would have resulted in my wagon being buried, first in sand and then by teh tide.
So we packed up and left them to it.
