You can still do that a little further north in Daytona Beach.

It is not really like the old days tho. It is not, "drive out there

Things were pretty loose and easy in Cocoa Beach back then. I did

once for having glass packs that were a little loud, but the cop let
me off with
a warning to 'take it easy'.

Probably 15 years ago we were vacationing at a beach in SC (where it
is illegal to drive on the beach) and we got up early one morning for
a walk. About a mile down the beach there was a car that made it
about half way from the dunes to the firm sand, sitting there, back
tires spun down so that the frame was sitting on the sand. Some dude
was behind the wheel, and his wife/girlfriend was in the passenger
seat, both trying to sink down and blend in to the car. :-)

I'm sure his wallet was much lighter when that was over.


I'm sure he appreciated your offer to help.


JackOff couldn't wait to turn the guy in.


Probably, but a decent guy would have offered to call a tow truck or
something...15 years ago, cell phones weren't that common.

In the 1950s, my dad's employees would deliver boat rigs to a popular
beach where there was pass-through between two old hotels direct to the
water. Once in a while, the jeep they used would bury its wheels up to
the hubs in the sand. When that happened, plenty of guys would come over
to help out.

Obviously, these volunteers weren't "jackgoffs."



Harry, Don.
Grow up.

Jim - Only thing that comes mind that's gentle enough to say.

Between the the police car sitting back up in the parking lot, and the

So your dad delivered rental boats or new boats to a beach to be
launched into the surf, without a boat ramp, in the soft sand? Rental
boaters or new boaters doing surf launches? I smell B.S.

Rental boats? Say what? No...they weren't rental boats. He had a few
customers with summer cottages at that beach, and they kept their boats
moored a few hundred yards off the beach, beyond the low-tide sandbars.
The crews would deliver new boats and pick up customer boats that needed
repair. These were 14-17 foot outboard boats with 25-35-40 hp Evinrudes.

The beach was not that deep. The crews would drive out onto the sandbar
to launch the boat. No boat ramp there. Once in a while they got "caught."

Surf? Hehe. Not often. Long Island Sound in a nice cove on the north
side, on the Connecticut shore.

Here's the beach...some of the area looks the same as it did 50 years
ago. The old hotel is still there, it seems, and so is the pass-through.
That's amazing.

Yeah, it's gotten dangerous for people to lay out without getting run over.
It would suck to take kids and have to add traffic to the other things
parents have to monitor at the beach.


Most of the time when people get run over on the beach, it is by one
of the beach patrol vehicles.

I would have liked to have seen it back then.
My first visit was during the Challenger recovery and while it was quieter
than it is now, it was still pretty busy. Moved to the area in 1988 and
bought an old house on the Indian River for 90k. Times have changed...


Good investment though. Are you south of Titusville? We spent a lot
of time over there last summer trying to catch a shuttle launch.
Finally got to see the night launch from the Titusville dock.

Those two must spend most of their time discussing with each other ways to make
a derogatory post.

What a waste of time and energy.

....delivered boats to a beach with a jeep... Right!

That's right, you racist piece of crap. The smaller boats were towed
from the store to the beach, if that is what the customer wanted, and
launched there. There were also ramps, although not convenient to that
beach. Larger boats were towed by one of two trucks.

The jeep was more than adequate for the smaller boats.

Why are you commenting? You don't know anything about boats. You're the
asshole who wanted to winterize his outboard with WD-40, and wanted to
know which two cycle oil to mix in the gas for your four cycle outboard.

What do you actually know about boat and motor combos of the 1950s?
Didn't you grow up on some dirt farm in the midwest?

That right there is exactly why you get no respect... you are a liar.
John never said either one of those things, that's just what you and
donny twisted his words around to say. Repeating it endlessly does
not make it true.

You are the ultimate in low-life, lying trash krause. You prove it
here everyday.
