Looks like he got stuck and a hell of a tide came up.

Yeah, this is really good advice. Just wait till those zip ties get old and break...that line will blow off or come off.

Sucks about sinking the truck...we don't have any beaches that you can drive on around here so fortunately I haven't had that experience yet.
