It was a rough night on our crab-infested beach. I counted the passage of 4 barges before I just gave up, didn't care any more, and slept like a log.

The engines on the barges were really loud - you'd hear them approaching from a long way off. Then they'd fire up the 10-jillion candle power spotlight and sweep the shore. Since we hadn't been able to pull our boats all the way out fo the water, the wake would slap into our boats, lift them up and bash them around for a good 3 or 4 minutes.

Good times, man. Good times.
