i remember hearing a report on NPR that surfing
enthusiatsa have bee swarming to hawaii to a
memorial sirfiong contest--in memory of a
rescuer who died trying to save some folks
years back...that the waves were like high
rise bldgs coming at you...wonder if there is
an relation to the tsunami?

in 1998, i experienced on of the mose incredible
days of my life. I was on a clipper ship off the
coast of Guadeloupe--there to watch the total solar
eclipse. There is the Caribbean, in the path of
totality was also the volcano on MontSerrat, which
was erupting at the time, which caused seismic
reaction which resulted in massive waves . this
cause whales and porpoises to leap from the water..
what a multi media show....!! plus the total eclipse
was in progress, to add to the mix!
