For a while we watched and we waited until during a brief lull in the waves we quietly slipped through.<\/p>\n
It was so intense in that crazy place, always on our guard and never knowing where the next onslaught would come from.<\/p>\n
We lingered as long as we dared then slipped unnoticed out the back in to the world of wind and sunshine again.<\/p>\n
