Rip Tide can be fun but dangerous

Hurricane Bill on Sunday gave us the chance to jump really big waves at Popham Beach on Saturday.  We had to be careful to not go too far out or the rip tide would suck us right out into the ocean.  This was a new experience and we were safe enough to have a lot of fun.  We went to Reid State Beach first but they wouldn't even let us pur our toes in the water.
