I got caught in a rip tide on a beach in Brazil lopes mendes I think it was called. got swept out. Was trying to swim against it being young and ignorant. I kept being hit by massive waves and they were churning me around like being in a washing machine. I was disorientated so when I was trying to swim up for air I was swimming down. I remembered that someone once told me to relax if I ever got caught in a rip. So I just stopped fighting and was just floating underwater. I remember thinking that I was never going to see my new born niece or my family again. The sun was reflecting beautifully into the water and I felt so calm as I was just drifting off. Then someone grabbed my shoulder and yanked me out of the water. It was a surfer and after what felt like an age of being smashed around they managed to drag me onto the shore. It was quite peaceful until I was pulled up and out.
 
Hard to know what to say to this. Except, what's the best way of going about this?

With someone else there is the safest way.

On your own you could try to manage it with certain "safe knots" or mitigating risk in other ways but you still run a significant chance of death or serious injury.
 

My mother died when giving birth to me (I’ve always been a jinx then ha ha) , she came back and always says she had the most surreal moment of her life. Bright stars, Voices saying it wasn’t her time yet .

I have said it might be her blood pressure was that high she might of been hallucinating or something like that but she’s adamant it was real, not a dream.

Were you a fat baby?
 
We had a flood at 80m onboard and I pretty much [Poor language removed] me undies. Only happened in 14 years of service and wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. once we surfaced we lost propulsion and was drifting but the engineers sorted that out.

Lots in the armed forces will have some type of tale of someone saving their bacon. When your in, it’s just people doing their job. The people doing their job that day are bloody heroes.
