I was sitting at the table Saturday morning having breakfast with my wife, in the background the weather channel was talking about the waves that we could expect from hurricane Bill, then close to 1,000 miles away off the coast of Virginia. Hard to imagine that something that far away could have a significant affect on the beaches of Florida.
About an hour later we were standing on the beach in New Smyrna. Waves were running 5-8 feet and breaking far from the waters edge. A few people played near shore where one minute you were in ankle deep water and the next almost to your waist. The pull of the water as it ran back out to sea was amazing!
Unfortunately later that day the power of the waves took the life of a body surfer in New Smyrna and today waves from the same storm may have claimed more lives in Maine.
Wow! That really stinks. When i was in the middle of practice the wind was blowing really hard from a hurricane but idk the name. so we had to cancel it.
Wow I remember when my cousin and I were playing in the beach(we were in the middle)a strong current almost pulled us far far away from the shore.
tht stinksssssssssssssssss
