One last trip to Mullet Bay today was not to be. I got there a little after 10:00, got second row as the waves were encroaching the first row. The waves were huge and sometimes violent. Within about 10 minutes a wave washed well past the second row and a lot of shoes were washed away. I had a beach bag on a small cooler that got turned over. Two cell phones, car keys and money/ID all took a ride. All seems to be unaffected but I was very concerned about the phones. Chester was generous and gave me a pass after having supported him three previous days. I was there less than an hour and decided to leave as I did not anticipate conditions improving. People who did venture into the water were getting rolled pretty regularly.

In many years and many visits to Mullet Bay, I have only seen it rougher perhaps one other time. Oh well.
