Default That Sick Feeiling.....

Over the sound system came the call this last Sunday afternoon........

"If your child was wearing a red cap..........please report to the beach office immediately........!"

They searched...........when I left 2 hours later - still nothing......

Be careful and enjoy the coming festive season........

The photograph tells this story well, but all I can think about is the child. The photograph is very poignant.

I hope it all turned out ok. That water looks a bit too rough for young children to me.

Johann,

An excellent news story but no resolution of the ending. What was the story about the red hat? Did they just find the hat and no child or saw the child wearing the red swim hat disappear beneath waves? It's very frightening especially if there are rip tides and folk have no idea how to manage!

Asher
