My girl just said a girl on our bus to the beach about 2 weeks ago drowned. Can't find anything. You hear anything OD over there?

I bet you've been called that though lolOrangeDragon wrote:Yeh, it was a khmer girl (not sure of age). A lot of speculation, no answers... my speculation is the rip current that orch. beach has that half of the residents say doesn't exist. it's pulled me out and under once in the 3 times i've swam there, but never far. but i'm also not a khmer chick, of any age, and have been swimming in strong currents since i could walk.
it's far from massive, not even overpowering to an experienced swimmer. weak enough that when it grabbed me i dipped under and was able to go semi-perpendicular out of it before i was even clear of it. but to a 50 kilo girl who's never been in the water over her belly button and is wearing a t-shirt and heavy wet jean shorts... devastating i'm sure.thePeck wrote:I bet you've been called that though lolOrangeDragon wrote:Yeh, it was a khmer girl (not sure of age).

I grew up on Florida beaches, we ALWAYS had bitch rip currents. Because of all the sand bars it caused bad ones. But Vlads advice is sound. Just let it pull, don't panic and after it's done swim back in or Parallel to the shore if it's still strong.
I haven't ever felt one at the beach here yet, or one I'd even call a rip tide.
Yes, it's a complete shithole.Hotdigr wrote:You fella's know how this town runs on rumour and innuendo
how? she jump off the pier then wade out to where she couldn't touch?Hotdigr wrote:You fella's know how this town runs on rumour and innuendo, so I'm not putting this out as gospel. But the latest I heard from a couple of Khmer girls down on the beach was that it was a suicide after she broke up with her boyfriend a couple of days before.
