Waves built from onshore wind, fast, steady overnight, through the day from early morning until sunset. Pam and I adapted with a revisit to the Sands Space History Museum, Cape Canaveral just outside the Air Force Station. Click this link for a previous posting, “Cape Canaveral Lighthouse,” first of a series. This post header is a vintage gumball machine from the lobby.
By sunset the waves were roaring. Viewing from the safe distance of our condo porch we spied two surfers incredibly among the waves, taking rides. Waiting and attempting a ride. You can see for yourselves the two tiny dots of humanity, appearing and hidden among the waves. I spot them first and Pam does not believe me, I do not blame her. It is beyond my comprehension people are out there. I cannot recommend the quality of the video from my IPhone, our comments are humorous.

It is difficult, Pam is astounded when they come into view.

Phew! That’s quite a sea. Haven’t spotted the surfers yet. Must look on a larger screen.

Most time they are hidden in wave troughs, big 6+ foot guys. I was on the beach when they headed up the beach carrying their boards.

Pam was there and she didn’t believe me, at first.

So now its Monday and I have a day off – I looked at the videos in Full HD and on full screen but still took a couple of views to spot the surfer in the first video! Great scene anyway, even without the surfers 😊

People standing on the edge can be knocked down and pulled out by the under tow.
