BIG Waves and National Geographic

Wow, the high gale force winds we had yesterday took its toll on the ocean.  The water is still so out-of-control even today.  The Coast Guard radio says 22 ft. seas every 14 seconds, and are not allowing certain vessels to come into the harbor, the waves are 3-deep across the bar.  No one is crossing today.

The Lookout area, with the waves washing over the breakwater. 

More wild water coming over the breakwater.

 The roadway was flooded, over a foot of sea water to drive through.

Yikes.

The beach by our condo, Paul taking a stroll. 

Wild waves here too, we actually had to run from a couple of them.
As far as we could see, there was whitewater and huge waves all the way out.  It sounded like Waimea at 30 feet.

And now, back to National Geographic...

 Two deer from our lanai.

 Our condo, we are the third window from the left, downstairs.

The pathway thru the tall grass.  Very East coast!

 Paul walking towards the beach through the Christmas trees!

Ewww.
Sea Foam Face.

Mr. and Mrs. Raccoon, cruising for scraps.  They got soaked when the waves broke over the seawall.
They weren't happy... 
"Honey, I told you we should go to the crab pots across the street, but NOOOOOO..."

Pelican.

Stay tuned, the day ain't over yet!
