Those waves are fun to watch, but not to wrestle with!

A neighbor's son-25ish, was playing in the waves in LI when one smashed him to the bottom of the ocean. He is now a quadriplegic. Very sad. Waves have always scared me but even more now....

Holy Waves Batman!! Those are awesome. Makes me wonder what Mullet has looked like this past week? Yes, hubby now respects the waves of Anguilla. He was smashed on Meads Bay a couple years ago. Had to have surgery on his shoulder when we got home. It picked him up and pile drove him upside down into the sand. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

I can truly enjoy a crazy wave day on Mullet, but from the comfort of my chaise with a drink in one hand and my book in the other. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

There was one day several years ago when we drove all over the island trying to find quiet surf. Mullet, all the French side beaches, Friar's, Orient - every one was insanely wild and crazy. Finally ended up at Gallion!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />
