Surprisingly calm, I waited until it was almost on me and then ‘tin soldiered’ as deep as I could to avoid the turbulence of so much moving water. It threw me around a bit, took me down pretty deep, but with a few strokes to get back to the surface, it actually wasn’t that bad. Thankfully there wasn’t another one as big behind it and was able to dive through the next to safety. The wave wasn’t done yet though. As Philip hooted and continued through the glassy inside section, he again wisely projected as far out into the channel as possible to avoid the wave behind. But fatefully it wasn’t enough.
