The greatest fun I had was playing in the waves! Imagine going into the ocean in big waves and finding it refreshing instead of freezing! You actually don’t want to come out because you get too hot when you do. How’s that for a new experience?
I have always loved waves, but it has been years since I have been anywhere that had good waves and I could stand the temperature. I think we did a bit in Musquodoboit Harbour, but really it has been since we were in the Magdalene Islands.
Apparently most places here you can’t go in swimming like this. The undertow is too strong. We had to be careful here too, but we still could easily go in to our waist. In the morning the waves were quite calm, but in the afternoon they were savage! I was constantly being picked up and thrown down. Sand-burnt and scraped up knees …. and loving it! When will I ever get to this again!
After our frolic in the rough waves in the afternoons, we would go over to the lagoon where the water is calm … like swimming in a lake. There the de-sanding could begin. Let me tell you, the sand goes everywhere …. and I do mean everywhere!

I’m so jealous! Looks like alot of fun!
You needed a surfboard or a boogieboard. That would have been fun!
Halden says, “Awesome waves ! Wish I was there!We have waves here but not like that!By the way, love the last pic!”
Jim, if that’s you in all that water… wave!!
