Define a “beachcomber”…my impression is a person who casually strolls the beach, no work pressure, no time pressure, enjoys the outdoors and in particular the sand and sea.
So…a 51 year old man who is a beachcomber, habitually walks along a beautiful San Clemente beach named “Cotton Point” for therapy on his leg. He walks with a cane. He also “adopted” a section of the beach to clean up debris (beach clean up adoption is so cool) because seeing debris annoyed the peacefulness associated with his beach walks.
One day recently, this beachcomber hears screams from the water and sees just an arm sticking up from the water. He sees nobody reacting, so he decided to act and went toward the water. He was knocked into the water by crashing waves and popped up right next to a drowning man. He grabbed the man’s hand and the next series of waves knocked them back toward shore. Then the beachcomber gained some footing and used his cane to coax the drowsing man the rest of the way in, settled him on the beach and went for help. When he returned everyone was gone…
A few days later, lifeguards saw the beachcomber and said “you saved that mans life”. They said the victim told them if the beachcomber hadn’t gotten to him, he would have drowned out there.
This beachcomber has been walking the beach for 7 years and picking up trash during his walks…now he has unselfishly saved a life (while risking his own). His name is Mark Aubrey and I would like to congratulate him.
I hope this story made you happy…your comments are welcome.
And thank you for making me Your Orange County Real Estate Connection.
Best regards.
