Anyone for a swim at one of our local beaches.
The beaches here are treacherous, and if you would like to take your life in your hands then try having a swim here.
We went down to the beach early one Sunday morning for a kick of the footy and to have a look around. Of course my trusty camera came too. We came across the local Life Savers tent and couldn't help having a laugh, oh how Indian. As I was standing there watching this little boy have a lovely time with a piece of wood , in the background I noticed a woman in trouble in the water. Her husband was desperately trying to pull her out of the strong currant, but the waves just kept pulling here back down. Mind you she had her Sari on (of course) so the extra weight in that would not have been helping. No bathing suites for women over here, only sari's.
I looked around to see if the fearless Life Guard was coming to help, but no, he was fast asleep.
The woman's husband finally pulled her to safety (with no help from me, I didn't feel like drowning on this particular day) and she was very shaken but ok.

Prayers for the swimmers in Chennai. I'm glad you saw danger Megan and stuck to kicking the footy and taking photos! Do the life guards have floating devices?
My hot tip for the day - stick to the posh hotel pool!
Have a good day.
