verap52 is right about drones being faster, but you still need boots on the ground to check what the camera misses.

That "a fan should have it" line is the real magic of those places.

lol yeah @blair626, "run you" is right. I dropped way more than I thought I would on mine too. Felt that sting for sure.

Shane's right about checking twice, but man those tide charts are like reading a foreign language. Sprinting with a full pack while getting slapped by waves sounds like a bad fitness challenge. You basically did an extreme sport by accident. Hope your boots dried out fast.

My buddy's car got a huge scratch in a parking lot last year. He just drove off and fixed it himself. The other driver was a single mom with a beat-up minivan. If he had reported it, her insurance would have gone way up and she might have lost her license. That's not justice, that's just ruining someone's life over a mistake. Keeping quiet and handling it yourself can be the kinder thing to do.
