Tropical Storm Debbie is on her way out, which means I'm on my way in...
The waves are down enough for me to start working the shallow surf. About an hour ago 5 people were rescued from here after having getting caught in a rip-current. They were apparently outside of the sandbar about 20 yards off shore. Where I'm at, where the sand meets the water, it quickly goes to about 4' deep, and then 20 yards out it turns into a sand bar which is almost dry at low tide. This makes a great catch area.
One lady may not survive. Somebody brought her back in on a boogie board. This all happened just prior to my arrival. I'm staying shallow...
So, I'm heading north along the beach working the break right alongside the beach. While I'm detecting I watch this other guy come down to the beach, get his gear set up, and get into the water 30' ahead of me. He starts working the same break, and heads in the same direction.
I don't recognize him but I think I know who he is. I believe he is Mr. Whole. Mr. Azzum Whole. So Azzum Whole starts digging up right in front of me. He couldn't move off to one side or the other, or go the other way... I'm watching Azzum Whole digging up crab trap parts, so he apparently can't discriminate out the rusty iron. I'm catching up to him while he tosses the iron back in.
What a putz.
So I exit the water, go up onto the dry sand, walk past Mr. Azzum Whole, go back into the surf 30' ahead of him, and start hunting again.
With TS Debbie just having stirred everything up, I'm finding some old CLAD that has been in the water for quite a while, along with outdated bottle caps, lot's of crab trap parts (which I don't dig up), the usual. It's interesting that the copper coating on the penny has eroded off and the zinc was exposed. Two dimes were completely crusted over.
Heading back out tomorrow.
I'm hoping to not see Azzum Whole again...
