It is like a magnet that pulls us closer and closer. I love to see the the waves break on the rocks and feel the spray on my face. A refreshing feeling that many have tried to bottle and sell, yet no one has managed to truly capture. It is a shame that people prefer to litter such a pristine body of water. Every year divers and locals form groups to clean up the beaches that others litter indiscriminately. We say in Barbados that the sea has no back door so respect it.islandgal246https://www.blogger.com/profile/09139072456332225087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8834259211447876563.post-44464121446004484222009-08-01T15:39:52.118+05:302009-08-01T15:39:52.118+05:30Anil, there was drama aplenty here!

I dont know how they were able to predict that this one was going to be the highest one in 100 years.<br />The Survey of India contradicted this by saying that January ,'09 saw a marginally higher tide but believe me, I never saw the sea slamming the earth like this in January and the spray rising as tall as coconut trees almost 5-6 storeys high.
