All along the coast from Villa Pescara to Shore Island, Middles, Golandrina, Jobos, Shacks, Surfers, Ruines, Wilderness and beyond, people gathered to watch the biggest oceanic event in more than 25 years.
Wednesday night surfers set up lights at Crashboat and had an extremely rare night surfing session (sorry we missed that!). We went to Crashboat last night hoping for another night session but only one surfer ventured out although a number stood around considering it. The big problem was light - there were some nice wave sets coming in but they just couldn't see them.
This morning is gray and rainy. The ocean is still big but not as big as yesterday. The surge is still high but not as bad as yesterday - no floods down the road today and that's a good thing.
We've uploaded some video from yesterday at Borinquen and Ruines to YouTube and I'll post an album of still photos to Flickr later today. I've been trying capture a sense of how big the waves are, but I don't think I've done it very well. The scale, the sheer massiveness of the incoming walls of water, gets lost in the photos.
