Chris, you big girlyman. What's a little wind?

 

[Missdirected]

Same stuff here RIO. We've had nasty winds for the better part of two months :sad:

 

[Johnw...ski]

Looks like we are in for a light chop tomorrow.

 

[ScubaSarus]

Anyone up for some boogie boarding? Weekapaug Point or Misquamicut ?

 

[JohnL]

Of course...I get a few days off and look what happens!

Just of interest, I'm reading a book about the Hurricane of 38 and the tidal wave (storm surge 30ft high) that washed a shore. The stories of survival and tradgedy are incredible. You never realize it; but when you do a shore dive in RI, you are not aware of what happened in that very spot you are standing in in 1938. Crossing the strip at Macrkel's Cove going to Beavertail will never be the same after reading about the school bus incident.

Well for some more info and really extreme pcics here is just one link:
