Endurance Prop Bets (Pool & Ocean) in Turks & Caicos

[jsnipes28]

I think while it would definitely suck, he could still do this. I know at least in T&C (i've spent a lot of time on Provo) that there are a lot of sandy, calm bay beaches where there is no strong tide and the ground is fine white sand.

In a situation like this he could def keep his shoulders below water and do stuff like crawling into shallower water just adjusting how extended his legs were so that he could sit on the sand for a few hours to rest (and the water will always be warmer the shallower it is) and since the effects of tide/waves would be minimal that could help a lot.

I am not as familiar with Aruba although I believe there are stronger tradewinds there (not sure what they are like in the fall though), but from what I have seen it seems like there would be some similar flat, sandy calm beachy areas that would make this very doable for McCabe.

C'mon.. it'll be tough! You guys are killing my action [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] BTW, I can't wade into shallower waters. I have to be in 5 and half feet of water at all times; therefore, I can't rest at all.

Where'd all the "against" guys go?

Sean,

in 5 feet of water can you float a little bit? i am under the impression that it would be not quite like standing, but obvious still very tough.

by the way, your angle on this bet should have been just to keep your shoulders under the water so you could rest in more shallow waters, fish.

I think people are forgetting that having your body temperature drop for 12 hours straight would be pretty disastrous for your body.

when i was in aruba last year the water was amazingly warm and surf-less. I'm talking bathtub warm, 80 degrees easily, with no surf whatsoever.

Death usually occurs when the heart cools to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. If the water is over 80 degrees, by contrast, you may be able to stay conscious indefinitely. I'm not saying it'd be easy but its basicly a mind game above 80 water temp; the water would have to be at 78 or below for me to action against.
