Glad you were still able to have FUN and let the "less than gentle" waves MAKE instead of BREAK you day!
That's what I like about being in the ocean. However I am cautious and always make sure there are plenty of others around. I dan swim but not the greatest swimmer. I know the ocean is a lot different from our MN lakes!
In 2001 2 of us spent the day at a beach in Antiqua. The beach had a deeper area right by shore where the waves were breaking and churning constantly. You had to get through this to get to the gentle rolling where it was shallow for quite a ways out. Folks would be surprised at that first deeper area as they saw folks out a ways only up to their knees. My girlfriend and I were walking through that rough area when I saw a little elderly lady get knocked over and under, she came up but before we could get to her she was knocked down again, we dragged her out as she was going down a third time. Funny as there were others closer to her that didn't do a thing. My friend had never been in the ocean before and I only a few times, we weren't the greatest at remaining upright and walking through that rough surf. Me thinks we had some help from above! The lady and her friend sat on the sand for the rest of the day. She had problems with her knees and just couldn't stand in the surf. Now you know why I am always cautious.
Houch, did you take the water taxi or a land taxi to Grande Anse Beach? Would you mind telling how much it was?
Years ago when we vacationed in the Cayman Islands, the weather was so bad that the renowned calm clear waters became a playground for surfers! That was quite a surprise!!!

Water taxi was $4 each way there and it sounded like it was the same on most of the islands we visited. I heard the water taxi was quicker too. And the dock for the taxies was right next to our ship dock, a short walk and we could see it from the ship. I will look for the water taxies next time I am in the Caribbean, thought it was a good deal.
