The entire digging ordeal took about 40 minutes, between Trevor laughing, and me screaming bloody murder.

Strangers looked at us with amused looks on their faces, and I came close to being urinated on by a dog.

When I got out, I kissed my foot. Then I punched Trevor. Screw being careful of jellyfish, or watching for sneaker waves or getting hypothermia and drowning in the water. DON'T BURY YOURSELF in the sand. Don't bury others, either. And for god's sake, if you do happen to find yourself partially submerged in sand - DO NOT EVER pack it down with a bat.

EVER.

Words from a man that has lived to tell the tale.
