They scan the ocean, they crisscross in front of us during their rotation, they keep fit by exercising on sand and in the water, and they remind us over and over again not to block their view with our umbrella (will we ever learn?), yes!
But maybe we don't really realize on a usual day at the beach how dedicated this group of young 'gentle' men and ladies really are, unless ... you see them accompanying a lost child, helping a physically impaired person (pushing the special chair, carrying and planting their umbrella, even carrying them in and out of the water) and last but not least assisting an injured person.
I personally received that special care last month. I suffered a bout of vertigo that would not let me even stand up. They ran over, they gave me oxygen, they took my blood pressure and my heartbeat. They helped my husband and rolled me back to our car as I continued to be unable to stand.
Day in and day out, regardless of the weather, they are there to take care of us!
Thank you, you are the best!

To submit a letter to the editor for publishing, send an email to viewpoints@capegazette.com. All letters are considered at the discretion of the newsroom and published as space allows. Due to the large volume of submissions, we cannot acknowledge receipt of each submission. Letters must include a phone number and address for verification. Keep letters to 400 words or fewer. We reserve the right to edit for content or length. Letters should be responsive to issues addressed in the Cape Gazette rather than content from other publications or media. Letters should focus on local issues, not national topics or personalities. Only one letter per author will be published every 30 days regarding a particular topic. Authors may submit a second letter within that time period if it pertains to a different issue. Letters may not be critical of personalities or specific businesses. Criticism of public figures is permissible. Endorsement letters for political candidates are no longer accepted. Letters must be the author’s original work, and may not be generated by artificial intelligence tools.
