It was a cool crisp afternoon in mid March of 1999, just
another great day on the Juno Beach Fishing Pier. The
whole crew was there with me, all except for the Jersery
Boyz. We were fishing for spinner sharks and passing the
time by telling fishin’ stories, and just sitting around
waiten’ for the bite.
At about 3 pm two nice looking, very well dressed middle age ladies walked out to the tee of the pier. They were both wearing dresses and I figured that they were just out for an afternoon walk. We were sitting off to the side as they approached us the one lady was staring at me extremely hard. As I looked at her she turned away and then both the ladies walked to the southeast corner of the tee. The one lady was still turning her head around looking at me over her shoulder acting very suspicious like. I tried not to stare but this raised my curiosity level and I couldn’t help wondering what the heck these two woman were up to. By this time she's got my full attention now. I watched her as she digged around in her purse for something, and she constantly kept peering over to see if I was watching her. I continued to pretend not to watch her, but I had to. It was a moral imperative now. I had to know just what these two well dressed ladies were doing out on the pier. And why were they being so secretive. And what was she trying to keep hidden in her purse? I had all these and many more questions floating around in my mind. Well, I was about to find out. What happened next I’ll never forget till the day I die. The wind was blowing a constant 15 mph out of the southeast on that particular day and we were standing down wind at the time of the incident. All of a sudden the lady who had been acting so secretively pulled out a clear plastic baggy from her purse and dumped the contents from the bag over the pier railing. The air was immediately filled with a HUGE white cloud. It blew along with the wind right into all of our faces. The ladies now, both embarrassed, quickly left the pier without saying a thing. As the air cleared and my friends and I began to sneeze, my thoughts drifted to this woman’s dead husband who just had been snorted by the whole Pier Rat crew. Yes she was attempting to toss her dead husbands ashes into the ocean but she never checked the wind. Editors Note: Ladies always check the windage before trying to discard your husbands ashes over the pier railing and into the sea! If you must, please try and always dump ashes on the Leeward side of the pier!
