Rick,
When I get back I will email you some pics. The Internet here is really slow so I had to reduce the image a lot just to post them. I return this Saturday evening so you should see an email from me by Sunday night. The waves were about 800 yards off kite beach. It was still pretty smooth inside the reef and as you made your way out the waves progressively got bigger and bigger. I can't wait for tomorrow with another swell hitting. -Chris

Hey Chris,
Thanks for the additional info. Good thing it was smooth on the inside. Do you think you could ride out into it or was it pretty much locked out? It is a stretch I know but the photos almost suggest it was locked out. Sorry to hear about the slow Internet connection there, things have changed. Takes me back. I used to visit one of the several Internet cafes beachside every morning there before the wind came up. It was summer 2001 and we had just started the FKA and some traffic was getting going on the site. http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group...messages/1?l=1 Looking forward to seeing what you put up on your return. Have a blast in the meantime! Quote:

I bet no one has any idea about how big the waves were at Rum Cay? Neither do I, But I've been there a few times and even when it's not that big, out there in the ocean it gets HUGE. not to mention this monster swell. They must have had 20ft waves. bigger than Nassau, and here, since were both blocked by some other islands. I'd love to see some pictures of the waves wrapping around Sandy point, and when it's onshore for us, it's offshore for them. Must have been insane, would have loved to take some pics.
