Undertow
Thirty years ago while swimming off the coast of Rhode Island I had one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. That was the day I learned what power an undertow has! I still don't know how I escaped. If you are caught by one you must not try to fight it. The way to escape is to swim parallel to the beach and soon you will be free from this deadly force. If you try to fight the undertow you will become exhausted.

In California, once, Anthony and I had a helicopter fly over us and tell us by loudspeaker that we were in a "rip" and to swim north north to get out of it!

It was probably a "rip" that had me. I think Undertow and rip are a little different. I was lucky to get freed from it!
