A really bad Tuesday on the Cooper River back in '08
We were doing a simple bridge inspection near Charleston, and the current just went nuts, way over the 2.5 knots they said it would be. I got pinned against a piling for what felt like forever, my comms went to static, and my tender, Mike, was yelling so loud on the surface I could almost hear him through the water. That was the day I stopped trusting the printed tide charts and started double-checking everything with the local boat captains. Anyone else have a job where the water just totally turned on you?

Man, that sounds terrifying. Glad you made it out okay. Water doesn't care about the paperwork, does it?
