Hey Bo---it might be good that you live in the desert
From this morning's briefing----yes---in the NYT
The biggest wave
Some of the tallest waves on earth are in Nazaré, a Portuguese fishing port. A scientific team has determined that in February Maya Gabeira, a 33-year-old Brazilian, rode a 73.5 feet wave in February, the biggest wave surfed in the 2019-20 winter season. That’s a first for a female surfer.
Seven years ago, Gabeira almost died wiping out on a 50-foot wave, and her long recovery involved three back surgeries.
That would be a rush---as long as you made it

Just that picture of running in front of that wave, brings on a considerable pucker factor for me

Scuba didn't work for me either---I could not get my ears to clear so any depth at all and I was in pain.
