John & I decided to spend the afternoon at the beach on Aug. 24, 2008. So, we set up our 'Easy-Up' brought out the cooler, lounge chairs and books and settled in for a relaxing afternoon on the beach!(We didn't realize that there was a 'tropical storm' brewing.)
We were captivated by the amazing storm clouds!
Wow! that looks like a GIANT wave in the sky!!
Hmm.....maybe we should paddle in?.....NAH!
Oh Oh....Looks pretty ominous!!
"What do ya think?.......should we go in?........Nah."
The birds we 'high-tailing' it to shore. The locals all ran for shore and left the beach. John and fellow surfer FINALLY decided to come in. We almost lost our 'Easy-Up' , if not for the help of a kind local it would have sailed up the cliff. As John came in, the wind gusted and tore his board out of his arm, and it flew down the beach (luckily he was able to retrieve it). We got the 'Easy-up' down as we were pelted by rain, falling horizontally and high-tailed it up to our place on the hill. Whew!
The Weather-Rock, courtesy of Juan y Juan, was definitely WET!
