Yes, hubby now respects the waves of Anguilla. He was smashed on Meads Bay a couple years ago. Had to have surgery on his shoulder when we got home. It picked him up and pile drove him upside down into the sand. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> "It is good to do nothing all day, and then to rest"

I can truly enjoy a crazy wave day on Mullet, but from the comfort of my chaise with a drink in one hand and my book in the other. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> Respectfully, pat "Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them."

Mullet, all the French side beaches, Friar's, Orient - every one was insanely wild and crazy. Finally ended up at Gallion!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />
