Wow, looooved the Tihiti video. I'm stoked. Got in the truck, ran over to Los Barriles and bought one a those boogie boards. It's just that foam stuff but it looks like the right style, the dynamic for waves. Now my plan is to take it down to the beach real early when some of the fishing boats go by and hope they come in close, make a wake. I want to feel the danger, I want to risk it all for the thrill. Of course if they go slow or stay way out I'll just be bobbin' around waiting for something that might not happen. Nothin' new about that for me.

Should I put a rope on the thing, tie it to my ankle somehow? I don't think that thing would hold me up, save me from drowning. Not sure how to use those thong things whatever they're called. Man I get so excited I get ahead of myself.

Osprey...tie it to your thong!:O

a note about the huge swell...Juan's canoe got washed away as well as some other fisherman's bongitos(dinghies). He is bummed as it was such a great boat...the problem here is that hardly any fishermen have dinghies so they all "borrow" each others but with a canoe...nobody used it cause it is foreign and so intimidating...sooooooo...Juan asked me to see if someone has an old canoe hangin about...not problem if it is old and holed...he will fix it.

You really captured the beauty, Shari! I especially like the last one in the set, before the single one you posted, looks like a purple portal in the sky!

Oh My, Shari, that first shot of the blowhole, in your second (morning) series, is a contest winner! Incredible power in that shot!

thank you Luna & Bob...I think that blowhole shot Bob mentioned is my new favorite...I never tire of photographing the blowhole...often mysterious ghostlike figures come out of that orifice! Playing with the photos is my artistic outlet since I cant draw or paint worth chite....

the swell event is over...the kids caught some good waves at the little cove ensenadita next to our place last night...hmmm...now what will I photograph? My second favorite subject!



have a great sabado everyone.
