Today, July 13…
Neptune was mad, very mad today. Showing-up at the parking lot in Pier Village, I knew I would have a battle on my hands… I kept my GO-camera on so this harrowing story could be told with pictures…
Given most elite swimmers had difficulties at the start in what felt like a washing machine (that’s Brian Shea in the pic below), I was relieved after passing the first buoy and thought the trouble was behind me...
With the extremely strong current taking the few remaining swimmers (only the tough NJ Tri Devils remaining) being pulled into the gulf stream, I came upon a cruise ship that was capsized…
Yes, it was the infamous Poseidon Adventure.. After pulling Earnest Borgnine, Shelley Winters, and Red Buttons to safety (I left Gene Hackman under water), I was off to the third buoy. I thought my troubles were over when I saw him.. yes, Jaws was after a fellow Tri-Devil!
After having a few beers with Capt. Quint, I stuffed a fire extinguisher in Jaws’ mouth and was back on my way..
Headed back into shore and my heroics were rewarded when I came upon a mermaid named Madison…
Another great day at the Jersey Shore…
