(Just) Another Rescue By OL Cooper Moeschler...

Dateline: Saturday morning, July 9, 2016 along Santa Monica South at Tower #28... while on an off duty soft sand run toward Navy St.... I run past Tower #28 just as OL Cooper Moeschler leaves the deck of his tower..... and heads toward the water line with his rescue can and fins.....  It is then that we notice a swimmer struggling toward shore with a windmill stroke pattern (including a cast covering his left forearm and wrist) and what turn out to NOT be fins but heavy athletic shoes on his feet...  Well, see for yourself because "luckily" I had my camera with me and took several photos and a video of the rescue itself!

This first shot captures Cooper just right of center frame just as he has committed to making the rescue...

After we ran down to Navy St. and said hi to OL Juan Delgadillo, we ran back and said hi to Cooper at Tower #28 and he had another swimmer to redirect away from the inshore hole and rip current out front of his tower...

Below, is a good shot of the rip and inshore hole out front of Tower #28 and at left of frame you can see Cooper holding up his rescue can and holding the flags he is carrying so he can set up a swimming area...

And then we split because we were on a day off and wanted to get in the water..... which we did
and it was lovely.....
