Sandpaper'd at the beach

This weekend I drove up to Doheney State Beach to hang out with Margie from work and her family. (You can read more on Cazi's blog) Its a beautiful beach, except for one thing, the beach next to the campground is full of rocks!

Notice the thousands of rocks on the right, and the orange kayak on the left. So I was just sitting there, taking in the view, when a large wave came up and took the orange kayak away, the group that owned the kayak were not there and no one was there to grab the kayak. NOT THINKING FIRST IF THE SCENE WAS SAFE and being the nice guy that I am, I ran right after it hoping to grab it before it got too far out. The ocean wanted that kayak and was willing to fight! The waves knocked me back and forth, knocking me to my knees and dragging me across the rocks before finally grabbing hold of the kayak and safely returning it to the unsuspecting owners.

The word "Hero" was thrown around :) but heroes never call themselves heroes. Truthfully I didnt think about it, I just reacted, WHICH WAS DUMB. I better have a crap-load of Karma saved up somewhere. And to prove that no good deed goes unpunished, a picture is worth a 1000 words:

Just like Hercules. Zero to Hero!

What a nice thing you did and you didn't even try to keep the kayake. You might make it to President after all!
