Ok, this is a little hard to explain unless you've seen it yourself but...remember the scene in The Perfect Storm where the boat is going straight up a 100' wave? 2 hours ago we went through an inlet or narrow cut out of the Abaco island group in the Bahamas into the ocean and it was just like that scene! There was what locals call a "rage" going on. A rage is when steep, breaking waves close off an inlet due to their height and intensity making the inlet impassable. Well, Boundless and crew just went through a rage! The waves were an average of 8-10 feet but there were two monster waves of 12' or more that were breaking at their tops due to their steepness. Boundless went up and up, crashed through the top of the wave and down the other side! Thank goodness for Boundless's 40,000 lbs as we took it like a surfer having a great time! My daughter Jennifer wanted to do it over and over! :) No wonder she gets bored at amusement parks! Normally, I would have waited a day or so for things to die down but there's a storm coming tomorrow night and we needed to get out of the Abacos to get somewhere safer. Winds are supposed to be around 40kts for several hours out of several different directions as the storm passes through. The winds will be a bit lighter the farther south we go and the protection from the islands a bit better as well. Tomorrow Santa will find us where ever we are and I'm wishing some of my past student crew members were here to celebrate Christmas with us! Have a Merry Christmas everyone!!!! Jeff
