<p>Today the beach was crawling with people due to a heat wave that saw temperatures above 90 degrees, a lot of people in the water, and a noticeable wind with a storm coming through later. It's yet unknown whether we even have a dedicated beach patrol out at Stearns due to the Covid mess-- I didn't see any as I passed by. </p>
<p>High waters, added turbulence near the breakwall-- we're playing with fire this year that looks like water by not respecting the dangers posed by even small wave…</p>

<p>High waters, added turbulence near the breakwall-- we're playing with fire this year that looks like water by not respecting the dangers posed by even small wave events. If we relive last year's tragedy or the three tragedies at Stearns Beach ten years ago, I can at least say that I was the only one pushing the envelope when it should have been pushed during last summer. Every single city official bar none, has not even weighed in on the topic, they were too busy celebrating the failed West End Slab and their other new puppy, Harbor View Marina Money Pit, to actually care about real beach safety, but I did and I will go off at these city officials if we have any deaths this year, and it won't be with polite words from behind a podium.</p>

<p>And another tragic loss of life due to loss of Lifeguards, the best asset for any beach for many decades. Shameful if Ludington also continues on without them now.</p>
